BRF did not specify the average unit cost, however, it is estimated that producers will no longer pay around 5 thousand reais per month for electricity. Poultry producers will have to invest between 250 reais and 300 reais. With 200 million reais, more than 650 units of this unit value can be installed.

Recently, BRF had announced about the “Visão 2030” plan announced in December last year, which aims to increase by 50% the self-production capacity of electricity from clean or renewable sources over the next 10 years. For this, the company had already signed an agreement with Banco Brasil that will provide a line of credit to finance investments in the installation of solar panels on farms in Santa Catarina and Paraná.
