Celesc, the Electric Power Company of Santa Catarina, announced this Tuesday (9) its investment plan of R$ 4.5 billion in the state’s electrical system by 2026.

This is the largest amount ever invested by the company in its history and aims to expand the transformative capacity of existing substations, as well as to build new substations, distribution lines, and strategic projects, providing more resources and robustness to the electrical system throughout Santa Catarina. The president of Celesc, Tarcísio Estefano Rosa, stated that this investment would bring more quality of life and would be part of the improvement of the economic development of the state.

The planning was developed after studies conducted by Celesc’s technical area, which considered the demand of each region and the expected growth for the next four years. According to the company’s distribution director, Claudio Varella do Nascimento, these investments are a forecast and this plan can be revisited for expansion in case new needs are identified.

An Important Part of Celesc’s Investment Plan Is the Third Phase of the Santa Catarina Electric Corridor.

With an investment of approximately R$ 6 million, this phase of the project plans to install 10 new electric vehicle charging stations across all regions of the state. With over 1,500 kilometers of electrified roads, Santa Catarina already has 34 charging stations, including semi-rapid and rapid ones.
