Use of Solar Energy to Serve Remote Communities in Pará Is the Basis of the Mais Luz para a Amazônia Program, Which Had a Commitment Term Signed by the Federal Government

The Federal Government, through the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), signed a Commitment Term with Equatorial Pará Distribuidora de Energia S.A. for the supply of electric energy to Brazilians living in remote regions of the Legal Amazon, in the state of Pará, from renewable sources, with an emphasis on photovoltaic solar energy.

Named the Mais Luz para a Amazônia Program, the project aims to distribute electric energy to the population that still does not have access to this public service in the Legal Amazon or that relies on non-renewable energy sources.

For the supply of electric energy, solar energy generation systems will be used to help preserve the Amazon and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Additionally, this initiative also aims to encourage the use of renewable resources such as solar energy.

The forecast is that 10,593 families, that is, about 42,000 people, will benefit from the Mais Luz para a Amazônia Program from 2020 to 2022, according to the Commitment Term.

Access to electric energy enables the social and economic development of communities located in the Legal Amazon, as well as improving the quality of life of this population through the use of sustainable resources from the region, such as solar energy.

Renascer Extractive Reserve Will Be One of the First Localities of the Mais Luz para a Amazônia Program

The Renascer Extractive Reserve Renascer is located in the municipality of Prainha, in Pará. The area covers approximately 400,000 hectares and was created in 2009, after a long period of processing in the Civil House of the Presidency of the Republic.

This region will be one of the first areas to be served by the Mais Luz para a Amazônia Program, with a forecast to provide electric energy through solar energy to 205 families, approximately 820 people, by the end of 2020.

The Renascer Reserve has significant environmental relevance as it encompasses floodplain ecosystems and other areas that protect aquatic ecosystems and even urban populations in the Amazon through fishery resources, which are still underrepresented in Brazil’s protected area system.
