The Capital Saved on Electricity Bills Resulting from the Installation of Solar Power Plants in Schools Can Be Reinvested in Structural Improvements

The Government of the state of Rio Grande do Norte (RN) signed, on Monday, December 20, two cooperation agreements with Neoenergia-Cosern, with the aim of enabling the installation of solar panels in all 620 schools that are part of the state education network. The first contractual measures to be taken will be the installation of photovoltaic systems and the replacement of conventional light bulbs with LED bulbs in the headquarters of the State Department of Education and Culture, in the Administrative Center, in Natal (RN), with a planned budget of R$819 thousand.

Another document that is part of the solar energy installation agreement for schools provides a deadline of up to 90 days for Neoenergia to conduct studies and verify the conditions for the installation of systems in each of the schools. For this, a budget of R$1 million will be allocated, resulting from amendments from Senator Jean-Paul Prates (PT) for the installation of new technologies.

According to information from the Government of Rio Grande do Norte, it is expected that the solar power plants will start operating in state schools in the first quarter of next year, and the expectation is to achieve savings of up to 75% in energy consumption.

The Government of Rio Grande do Norte also secured, in December, another partnership aimed at promoting solar energy generation in the state. The project will build eight new solar power plants in the municipalities of Assu, Acari, Caicó, Alto Rodrigues, Governador Dix-Sept Rosado, Baraúnas, Jucurutu, and Apodi.

For this, an investment of R$ 110 million will be made, resulting from a partnership with the company Atua Energia, which will generate around 320 direct jobs by the end of 2023. Currently, the state government is expediting the procedures for obtaining environmental licenses and legal security. The plan will also serve 500 clients with monthly electricity consumption of around R$ 10,000.

Solar Energy Generation

Solar energy can be generated through the direct conversion of solar energy into electricity, using photovoltaic cells, or through the heliothermal system, in which energy from the sun is captured and used for heating water in residences or other locations. In both cases, energy generation is non-polluting and requires little maintenance.
