This value is reported in the Energy Balance of Alagoas (Beal) -Base 2019 published annually by the National Secretariat for Economic Development and Tourism (Sedetur).

The Superintendency of Energy and Mining (Suem) is responsible for monitoring the secretary, and it believes that the number is the result of a joint effort by:

  • Government of Alagoas;
  • Equatorial Alagoas;
  • Sugar and Alcohol Industry Union of Alagoas;
  • Entrepreneurs;
  • São Francisco Hydroelectric Company;
  • Algás;
  • Federal University of Alagoas;
  • Ministry of Mines and Energy, Energy Research Company;
  • National Electric Energy Agency;
  • National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels.

Caio Uchôa, superintendent of Suem, said that “We are moving towards structuring, more and more, an assertive public policy for planning productive sectors and promoting the state’s potential. The consolidated number in the Beal shows that Alagoas is effectively advancing with good practices for the benefit of society by generating more work and investments.”

Alagoas also has 2,224 distributed photovoltaic plants. This total includes various installations set up in solar panels that benefit 3,793 consumer units, which can improve local energy consumption. The total installed power is 28.5 MW. The advantages of using energy from renewable sources include lower costs, lower pollution rates, lower carbon emission rates, and low maintenance needs, which align with businesses in Alagoas.
