MT State Government Studies Possibility of Opening a Solar Energy Credit Line for Low-Income Families

In the session on Tuesday (6), state representative Faissal Calil (PV) presented a recommendation to the MT State Government for the opening of a credit line so that low-income individuals can install photovoltaic solar energy systems in their homes. The request for the credit line was made a week after the Mato Grosso Legislative Assembly (ALMT) overturned the veto on the project proposing the ICMS charge in the state.

The Credit Line Will Cover the Purchase and Installation of Solar Energy Panels

According to the recommendation to the MT State Government, presented by Faissal with representative Gilberto Cattani (PSL) as co-author, the financing will cover the purchase and installation of solar energy panels and also the other equipment for its operation.

Faissal emphasizes that the need for the creation of the credit line for low-income individuals to encourage the use of solar energy arises from the obstacles that the population faces in affording high electricity tariffs that are currently charged, especially now that we are facing a water crisis.

Pandemic and Increased Electricity Bills Affect Low-Income Families

According to the state representative, the pandemic has worsened the financial situation of a large part of the population, greatly undermining the economic conditions of Brazilian families, especially those with low incomes. Along with the pandemic, the constant increases in electricity bills have also contributed to the worsening situation.

Many families have stopped putting certain basic items on the table in order to afford the high tariffs, making it essential to create alternatives that meet the needs of these individuals, and the credit line for solar energy is one of them.

Solar energy is a power produced from sunlight and can be generated even on cloudy and rainy days, making it a renewable and clean source. The energy offers various advantages and can be applied for two different purposes, such as solar panels installed in homes, businesses, or agribusinesses, or solar collectors for water heating.

The representative states that the MT State Government benefit will be directed to those families whose per capita income is less than half a minimum wage. According to Faissal, we are facing a water crisis and it is necessary to find alternative sources of energy, and there is no better solution for low-income families.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
