BNDES Approves Initiative That Could Facilitate Replacement of Diesel Generators with Solar Plants in the Amazon Through Solfácil Financing

BNDES seems to redeem itself by approving the operation that will make it possible for energy consumers in the Amazon to swap their diesel generators for solar plants. BNDES acquired 95% of the R$ 60 million in debentures issued by Amazônia Solar Companhia Securitizadora de Créditos Financeiros.

BNDES Will Close Partnership for Financing 1,600 Mini Solar Plants in the Amazon

The issuance will make the partnership with the Solfácil ecosystem more viable. Solfácil specializes in financing the installation of microgeneration solar plants. The operation will enable the financing of 1,600 projects that will replace diesel generators within a term of up to 150 months for the installation of mini solar plants in businesses and homes located in the Amazon region.

Therefore, there are great chances that Solfácil will be mainly responsible for assessing the capacity of the contractor and the contracted party, as well as checking the feasibility of the system for the consumer before approving the credit.

Initiative Will Contribute to Democratization of Access to Solar Plant Generation

According to Solange Vieira, Credit Granting Director of the financial institution, the operation is innovative in its approach, allowing final consumers in the Amazon to access BNDES resources without the traditional intermediation of banks.

Solange states that the operation will contribute to democratizing access to energy generation through solar plants for consumers in the region, allowing greater access to credit at the end and generating bank decentralization.

Another advantage for consumers is the reduction in electricity bills, which, when compared to the use of diesel generators, can reach up to 90%. The compensation will be sufficient to pay the financing. After the loan is settled, consumers will own their own solar plants, which can last up to 25 years.

Vila Limeira 100% Solar Project

For the 80 residents of Vila Limeira, drinking cold water, using appliances, and accessing the internet became possible only less than a year ago, with the use of solar energy.

Even though it was founded in 1950, the riverside community had been enjoying only about three hours of electricity daily until recently, but it was supplied through diesel generators, which consumed 300 liters of fuel, costing up to R$ 2 thousand monthly.

In June of last year, the Vila Limeira 100% solar project connected 35 units, including houses, churches, and schools, to a small solar generation plant, making the community the first in southern Amazonas to have renewable energy every day.

Scientists enter a narrow, flooded cave 500 meters deep and find giant dinosaur footprints on the ceiling measuring up to 1.25 meters, preserved in such a rare way that a new type of trace had to be created.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

After two years of internal discussions, Paraguay has finally regulated the law that opens the country to foreign technology and service companies with tax incentives that promise to create thousands of jobs and change the economy.

Map reveals how the Earth may look in 250 million years: continents will reunite in the Last Pangaea, 92% of the planet could become uninhabitable for mammals, and Spain appears among the rare possible exceptions.

About 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland, with houses forming a continuous row and narrow agricultural strips emerging behind them, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

From discarded waste to completed constructions: startup creates modular blocks with recycled plastic that reduce construction costs, eliminate the need for specialized labor, and accelerate projects in Brazil.

Archaeologists found in the desert an oasis 5,000 years old surrounded by giant walls, in a discovery that reveals a civilization much more complex, powerful, and organized than previously thought.

Engineered Madeira transforms light into heat and generates electricity even in the dark by redesigning the balsa internally with protected phosphorene and stearic acid, storing 175 kJ/kg, achieving 91% solar conversion and up to 0.65 V still.
