Families Living In The Pantanal Receive Solar Panels For Energy Generation

Residents of the Pantanal Region of Mato Grosso do Sul are happy with the arrival of energy in their homes, a dream that seemed very distant. These people’s houses will receive clean and renewable energy from solar panels. Solar energy will be collected during the day and stored in batteries for later use and on cloudy days.

The investment is part of the Ilumina Pantanal project, from the Federal Government’s Rural Electrification Program. The project takes place in partnership with the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), Eletrobrás, Grupo Energisa, and the government of Mato Grosso.

The program aims to bring energy to people living in isolated places in that region. The initiative expects that about 2,090 families will receive the solar energy generation model. The investment in the project will be R$ 127 million, with R$ 73 million from the Electric Development Account (CDE) and R$ 51 million from Energisa.

“A lot has changed for us. We needed cold water, to keep meat fresh, we always needed that. But now, thank God, we have light,” highlighted resident Naurina Silva, who received the project.

This week, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque, visited the Porto São Pedro Farm, where he met riverine families living in the Pantanal region of Mato Grosso do Sul. “I could see not only the effectiveness of this program in a region like the Pantanal [south] of Mato Grosso do Sul, but also the social inclusion it offers to the people served by this program, bringing dignity, citizenship, and new perspectives into their lives.”

Clean Energy: Solar Panels As An Energy Solution For Isolated Areas

Clean energy from wind power will be essential for bringing Brazilians out of darkness in isolated areas of Brazil. As it is a cheap clean energy alternative, its large-scale implementation becomes easier.

Brazil surprises the world by cloning a pig with human genes in an attempt to save humans with transplants, a technique with only 1% to 5% success rate, editing 3 genes, inserting 7 human genes, and impacting 48,000 patients on the waiting list.

With a height of 8.7 meters, the giant termite mound found in Somalia has entered history as the largest ever recorded and reveals how insects just a few millimeters tall build three-story structures.

Measuring about 50 cm in wingspan, the merlin, the smallest bird of prey in the world, is at risk of extinction and could disappear by 2050, according to research published in Nature.
