Transpetro inaugurated its first photovoltaic solar energy plant in distributed generation this week. With an investment of R$12 million, this plant will be responsible for meeting the energy demands of the Guarulhos Terminal, located in the metropolitan region of São Paulo.
As disclosed by the company, the plant has 2.800 kW of power, which is enough to supply around 600 homes. It is estimated that this project will result in annual savings of approximately R$1,8 million in electricity expenses.
Furthermore, the installation of the solar plant will help to avoid the emission of 246 tons of greenhouse gases per year at the unit.
Sérgio Bacci, president of Transpetro, highlighted: “Our objective is to remain among the companies that lead the transformations in Brazil's energy matrix, offering sustainable solutions that result in effective decarbonization. Therefore, we are investing in initiatives that promote a low-carbon economy. We are committed to people and the environment, and this project is part of that commitment.”
In addition to the photovoltaic solar plant, the Guarulhos Terminal has projects to capture rainwater for use as service water, the installation of a vapor recovery system (URV) at the Guarulhos Road Loading Base (Baguar) and social projects with neighboring communities.
