Aimed at the sustainability of the country and the state, the Court of Justice will install a solar power plant with 12.500 photovoltaic panels in an area of 70 square meters, made available by the Government of the State of Maranhão.
With a focus on sustainability, the Court of Justice of Maranhão will install a solar power plant, which will ensure significant savings in electricity costs with its operation, making the use of public resources more efficient. The photovoltaic plant will be installed in an area on the road that connects the city of São Luís to the municipality of São José de Ribamar. The area was donated by the Government of the State of Maranhão and has an extension of 70 thousand square meters.

According to Lourival Serejo, President of the Court of Justice, photovoltaic solar energy is the best source of clean and renewable energy when it comes to sustainability, as the solar plant does not bring any type of pollution or degradation to the environment.
The area is large enough to carry the magnitude of the photovoltaic project and has ideal characteristics for absorbing solar energy, said judge Jorge Rachid, president of the Management Committee of the TJMA Sustainable Logistics Plan.
About the 12.500 project photovoltaic panels
According to Patryckson Santos, an engineer at the Court of Justice of Maranhão, the estimate is that the solar power plant will be 5 megawatts and will have around 12.500 photovoltaic panels, contributing significantly to Brazil fulfilling the 2030 Agenda, which is focused on sustainable development.
The overall project for the plant provides for an institutional partnership with the Government of Maranhão and the Municipality of São Luís, in addition to the supply of solar energy. This will allow public school students, both elementary and high school, access to the plant's facilities to understand sustainability and energy generation.
