The City of Santo André, In São Paulo, Has A New Project For The Construction Of Four New Solar Power Plants Of Up To 1.2 Megawatt-Hour
The city of Santo André, in the ABC Paulista region, may gain the construction of 4 new solar power plants, according to Mayor Paulo Serra. The mayor of the São Paulo municipality stated that a company has been hired to design and install a photovoltaic solar power plant project and signed a contract with Rennove Engenharia e Consultoria Ltda, worth R$ 326,500.
Construction Of The 4 New Solar Power Plants
The project integrates plans to improve maintenance and expand the city’s public lighting network. According to the government of Santo André, in São Paulo, the goal is to implement up to four solar power plants in the municipality with a generation capacity of 1.2 MWh, to reduce expenses with inputs in the coming years.
The São Paulo state government stated in a note that “Although already quite widespread in the private sector, through the installation of solar panels on roofs of homes and businesses, the co-generation of electricity from photovoltaic systems in the public sector is restricted to small isolated projects. The initiative of the Santo André City Hall to install municipal plants is unprecedented. Municipalities bear enormous electricity costs to keep schools, hospitals, public buildings, public lighting systems, among others, operational.”

Other Energy Projects In Santo André, São Paulo
This is not the only project by the Paulo Serra government involving the implementation of a plant. Since the last government, the possibility of enabling a PPP (Public-Private Partnership) has been studied, whose projects include the construction of waste incineration plants and the energy derived from them. This measure is an alternative to the limited lifespan of urban waste landfills.
