The Company will also invest R$ 11.4 million in energy efficiency projects.
All public sector consumers, including commerce and service providers, public servants, public lighting, and industrial sector within the concession area of Celpe, were able to apply.
Sustainability
According to Celpe, the installation of the solar plant in the TRF5 building is closely aligned with Sustainable Development Goals numbers 7 (affordable and clean energy), 11 (sustainable cities and communities), and 17 (partnerships for the goals).
The Court has also completed the assembly and operation of two other self-owned photovoltaic power plants.
