Project for a solar and biomass plant, by the city of Curitiba with Copel, is based on distributed generation
According to the city hall and Copel, the project is based on the distributed generation modality, in which the units sell the energy generated to the distribution network and are compensated by the distributor with a credit for the use of the network. According to the city hall, the energy that will be produced by the solar and biomass plant should represent more than 45% of consumption in municipal buildings.
Therefore, they will be two different units. Copel is responsible for the project for the biomass plant, which will generate energy from plant residues produced in the city.
And the municipality, with support from the Big Cities Group for Climate Leadership (C40), will be aware of the planning of the solar photovoltaic plant, which will have the shape of a pyramid, and will be built on top of the mountain of compact waste from the old landfill. The design would be the result of the mayor's own idea together with the architect Guilherme Klock.
