According to the municipal secretary of Industry and Commerce (Semic), Nilson Carlos Stefani Violato, the state government’s project in Paraná, through BRDE, strengthens so-called “renewable energies,” benefiting the municipality of Arapongas itself. “The inclusion of our municipality strengthens Mayor Sérgio Onofre’s initiative to launch the Technological Park for renewable energies and emerging technologies. We will be a space, an ecosystem where small-scale plants, from one to four megawatts, can be implemented in Arapongas, generating resources for public lighting,” said Violato.
In total, BRDE released R$ 125 million in funds. The seven cities awarded were: Campo Mourão (R$ 16.2 million), Cascavel (R$ 20.1 million), Florestópolis (R$ 893 thousand), Londrina (R$ 71.4 million), Mauá da Serra (R$ 2 million), and Roncador (R$ 3.3 million) where Arapongas secured a share of R$ 11.4 million

According to Wilson Bley, vice president and operations director of BRDE, the bank has been ensuring development opportunities for municipalities in an agile and transparent manner, contributing to their transformations and the continuity of productive activities.
“The lines of credit are important for this moment, considering the resumption of growth. Thus, BRDE fulfills its role as a development bank,” emphasized Bley.
Investments in Solar Power Plant in The City of Arapongas, Paraná
Arapongas plans to use the million-dollar investment for solar power plant and lighting projects in the city. The project’s goal is to meet the energy consumption of public buildings.
These actions allow local development, as well as adding value to the residents’ lives, providing better urban mobility conditions, and acting for social and environmental responsibility, investing in solar energy and generating cost savings for consumers.
BRDE has supported projects related to clean and renewable energies; waste management and recycling; rational and efficient water use; sustainable agribusiness; and sustainable cities. “Our goal is to continue to align with municipal interests, providing credit to enable ongoing regional improvements,” stated Bley.
