Public notice for the first five projects of distributed generation of solar power plants in São Paulo, should come out by the end of the year

The government of the State of São Paulo wants to deploy 50 distributed generation plants, solar energy in the state, by the end of the current management, which ends at the end of 2022. The idea is to take advantage of idle properties and land. The information was confirmed exclusively by Agência CanalEnergia during the inauguration of the Pereira Barreto Solar Complex of EDP Renováveis ​​by the Undersecretary for Infrastructure of the State of São Paulo, Cassiano Ávila.

Installation of new solar power plants in São Paulo

According to the executive, the government has been working to include the state of São Paulo in the free market.

Companies like Sabesp and CPTM, for example, already use this modality and now the infrastructure department wants to make the acquisition.

“The idea is for us to develop, by the end of this term, at the end of next year, around 50 projects and by the end of this year we should publish the public notice for the first five, in which the concept is the use of our own properties. from the state of São Paulo that are not being used for the implementation of these plants”, he says.

The city of São José dos Campos, in the interior of the state of São Paulo, approved the company Cápua Projetos e Construções for the implementation, maintenance and management of photovoltaic solar energy plants, which will feed the electric bus system in lot 01 of the system of municipal transport.

The model is based on distributed generation, including electricity credit compensation management. There will be 12 articulated electric buses measuring 22 meters in length, which were purchased by the city hall in the interior of São Paulo, to circulate in the so-called Corredor Verde, which will have a total length of 25 km. The first stage will be 14,5 kilometers long and will connect the south and east regions, considered the most populous, passing through the city center.

Lot 01 covers the north, west and south regions; and will house the southern section of the Linha Verde project (electric bus corridor). In the case of Linha Verde, the 22-meter electric buses made by BYD and Marcopolo, the Lot 1 concessionaire will assume the operating costs, including maintenance of rolling stock and energy, when the southern section of the Linha Verde is ready for operation.
