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.

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.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Criciúma wants to raise the railway tracks to a height of seven meters, spend R$ 260 million, and create a new city underneath the elevated structure.

Scientists find pen ink in Martian meteorites and expose a flaw in NASA’s sample preparation, warning that invisible contaminations can confuse analyses and require urgent unified protocols.

China successfully tested a machine that cuts submarine cables at a depth of 3,500 meters, and 99% of the world’s internet passes through these cables.

The most efficient house in the world does not use concrete, has no modern insulation, and was created over 1000 years ago in Iceland, made of earth and grass, retains heat in extreme cold, and still reduces almost all heating needs.

Oceans are coming under the spotlight of a technology that generates electricity 24 hours a day with just a 20 °C difference, and 144 years after being conceived on paper, it is advancing with a floating platform of 1.5 MW.
