Capacity of the Solar Power Plant of Copel
The system will have a total installed capacity of 5.36 MWp (megawatt-peak, a unit of power for photovoltaic energy), and the first phase is expected to be operational by 2020.
“We are very grateful for the process of completing the Bandeirantes plant; we will be proud to put into practice this new project that will be available not only for the population but also for commercial purposes,” says Ricardo Rothstein, superintendent of the Copel Business Development Board.

Project for the Construction of Shared Solar Power Plants in Partnership with Copel
In shared solar energy generation, it is possible to consider two or more consumer units gathered through a consortium or cooperative to use a portion of the energy generated by the plant to reduce their energy bill.
In remote self-consumption, the consumer units must have the same ownership, i.e., linked to the same CNPJ. In both cases, it is necessary for the consumer units to be within the area of Copel’s concession.
