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
