The new power plant has a capacity of 69.12 Kwp and is located on Campus I of the university. 187 Axitec panels of 380 W, an Ingeteam 55 KW inverter, and a mounting structure for the photovoltaic modules for a metal roof by PhotoEnergy were installed.

Marcos Carneiro da Silva, professor and advisor to the Pro-Rectorate of Administration, said that “PUC-Campinas has already implemented other projects under the Energy Efficiency Programs (PEE) with CPFL. One of them was the replacement of classroom and academic building lamps with LED. Afterwards, we improved the external lighting of the two campuses.”

The energy efficiency manager at CPFL, Felipe Henrique Zaia, stated that “By carrying out projects that impact the communities in our area of operation, we raise awareness among clients and public institutions about the importance of efficient and safe electricity consumption.”

The goal of the project by CPFL and PUC is to reduce costs, which will bring improvements for employees, students, and residents who frequent the university hospitals. A reduction of 931 MWh annually is estimated.

Marcos concluded by saying that “These two actions promote significant monthly savings in energy consumption and maintenance costs for the University.”

“Everyone benefits when there is a collective effort towards energy efficiency, whether through environmental benefits or the savings generated,” Felipe Henrique concluded.
