The solar energy generation panels were installed in the Fortaleza Metro, in the state of Ceará, at the Juscelino Kubitschek Station
The Juscelino Kubitschek Station, a unit located in the Fortaleza Metro, capital of the state of Ceará, received 588 solar panels. The solar panel installation project is in the final stages and the responsible company will receive an endorsement from Enel to operate and carry out tests with the photovoltaic system before it starts operating.

Installation of solar panels on the subway in Fortaleza, Ceará
Igor Ponte, director-president of Companhia Cearense de Transportes Metropolitanos, said that even though the subway already has an electrified system, which contributes a lot to the reduction of pollutants, the installation of solar energy plates in the Fortaleza Metrô, in Ceará, seeks to further consolidate the commitment to sustainable development and the environment.
All the electricity generated by the solar panels at the Juscelino Kubitschek Station will be transferred to the power grid in the capital of Ceará and soon after will return to the subway – it will be a credit for electrical production, which will result in discounts on the electricity bills of the responsible company .

The government of the state of Ceará estimates that the electricity produced by the solar panels at Juscelino Kubitschek Station and at another station that will also receive the panels will be enough to cover the energy demand of at least four stations on the Southern Line.
Another station in the state of Ceará will receive photovoltaic energy panels
Padre Cícero Station is being prepared to receive the solar panels and other equipment needed to install the system. About 294 solar panels will be installed in the Ceará capital's Metro.
Between the Juscelino Kubitschek and Padre Cícero stations, 882 solar panels will be installed, distributed among them. Companhia Cearense de Transportes Metropolitanos is already studying the expansion of the project to install energy plates to other stations in the capital of Ceará.

State of Minas Gerais reaches the mark of highest power of solar energy in distributed generation
Absolar disclosed that the state of Minas Gerais has around 938,1 megawatts of installed solar power in distributed generation. Throughout the state of Minas Gerais, approximately 80.160 systems are in operation, distributed in 841 cities, serving approximately 110.520 consumers. The state of Minas Gerais is now in first place in the ranking of states with solar energy distributed throughout Brazil.
The Brazilian Association of Solar and Photovoltaic Energy also disclosed that the state of Espírito Santo has achieved remarkable results in the photovoltaic energy segment and in distributed generation, the state has more than 6.600 operational connections, found in all 78 municipalities in the state. The Association also added that today there are around 7.612 consumers of solar electricity in the state of Espírito Santo.
With the end of the subsidy, requests for installation of wind and photovoltaic energy increased
Data released by the National Electric Energy Agency – Aneel show that from January to August last year – period prior to the publication of the MP – around 931 projects to install solar and wind power plants were presented, in which these requests had a potential of 41 GW.
This shortly after the approval of the MP, which ensures that these plants derived from alternative renewable resources have discounts on transmission and distribution tariffs. This makes the electricity they produce cheaper – between September last year and March this year – the number of orders for the installation of solar and wind energy projects doubled, reaching 1.886 orders. Planning shows that, if approved, the potential of these new projects would reach 85 GW of energy.
