In the Capital of Roraima, Boa Vista, the Seventh Solar Power Plant Has Been Installed, Having the Capacity to Generate Over 7 Million kWh Per Year.
The solar power plant in Roraima is expected to save the public coffers about R$ 5 million a year, and over the next 25 years, about R$ 125 million – the lifespan of the entire system. Overall, more than 14,000 solar panels were installed at KM 516 of BR-174, in the rural area of Boa Vista, Roraima. The Roraima city hall has not yet reported on the investment in purchasing equipment, however, Mayor Teresa Surita states that the investment in the solar power plant should be paid off in five years, based on the savings in electricity for municipal buildings.
