The Investments Will Generate Clean and Renewable Energy, As Well As Four Thousand Direct and Indirect Jobs in Minas Gerais, Stated the Director of Business at Mori.

In Minas Gerais, two major investments in the solar energy market directed exclusively towards industries will inject R$ 950 million into the State. The action will reduce electricity bills for companies operating with low voltage by up to 26%. The energy sector looks promising and is generating many jobs in the country, Atlantic has achieved 218.5 MW and is investing over R$ 1 billion in projects in Bahia and Piauí.

However, out of the R$ 950 million planned, R$ 650 million will be disbursed by a partnership between Cemig Sim, a company created by the state-owned Minas Gerais to operate in the clean energy sector, and Mori Energia by the end of 2020 to benefit 32 power plants in 17 municipalities in Minas.

The remaining R$ 300 million will be injected by the partnership between Alsol and Grupo Energisa. The resource will be applied by 2021, in 15 plants in the State.

Additionally, the aim of the action is to retain customers. Both investments are backed by the Federation of Industries of the State of Minas Gerais (Fiemg).

It is worth noting that discounts will be granted to the entity’s members and the percentage takes into account the retention period. Companies do not need to invest in solar panels to be entitled to the discount.

During the 25th edition of Minas Trend, a fashion fair, the president of the entity, Flávio Roscoe signed the agreement between Fiemg and the investors.

Roscoe stated that Fiemp is seeking cost reduction so that the mining industry can have greater competitiveness.

The Director of Business at Mori also emphasized that the investments will generate clean and renewable energy, as well as four thousand direct and indirect jobs in Minas.

The executive Gustavo Malagoli, founder and CTO of Alsol said that the works of three more projects are being completed and will be connected to the energy grid by December of this year.
