The City Hall of Maringá (PR) Is Investing R$ 80 Million for the Construction of Two Solar Plants That Will Help Reduce Electricity Bills. More Than R$ 2 Million Will Be Cut in Just One Month.

The City Hall of Maringá, in the northern part of the state of Paraná, announced on Tuesday (5) that it will construct two solar plants to ensure the operation of public buildings to save on electricity bills. The anticipated investment by the City Hall of Maringá (PR) for the construction of the solar plants is up to R$ 80 million. The municipality published in the Official Gazette the intention to hire a company to carry out the works.

Funding for Solar Plants Will Come from BRDE

A large portion of the funds will come from the Regional Development Bank of the South (BRDE). The expectation is that the two solar plants will be operational by the end of next year. According to the city hall of Maringá (PR), when the plants are fully operational, the city is expected to save around R$ 2 million per month on the electricity bill.

Additionally, the municipal administration claims that it will revitalize public lighting with the installation of LED lamps. The Water and Land Institute (IAT) and Copel are analyzing a request from the city hall for the development of one of the solar plants, which is expected to be built in the Felizardo Meneguetti Industrial Park.

First Solar Plant Will Cover Nearly 110,000 m² and Have More Than 10,000 Solar Panels

The city hall of Maringá (PR), through a partnership with the Felicity Project, won the technical project for the construction of the first facility, which will cover nearly 110,000 m², in the Felizardo Meneguetti Industrial Park.

The second, which is in the projection phase, is expected to be installed in the Iguatemi district. The expectation is that the first unit will begin construction by the end of this year and that by 2023 both projects will be operational and generating savings on electricity bills.

In May, an agreement was signed with BRDE, which provides for a budget of R$ 30 million for sustainable initiatives, including this one. According to the Secretary of Government, Hércules Kotsifas, with the partnership, the city is getting ahead in search of innovative and sustainable solutions, ready for future challenges.

The project for the solar plants from the city hall of Maringá (PR) is similar to those of other public agencies, such as the Regional Electoral Court of Paraná (TRE-PR), which has a solar plant in Paranavaí, in the northwest of Paraná.

The Court of Justice of Paraná also has a project for the installation of a solar energy plant that will be in Campo Mourão. In both the case of the TJ and the TR, the goal is to reduce electricity bills and save resources that are returned in the payment of electricity tariffs for the courts’ buildings.

Meanwhile, in Ponta Grossa, the city hall has a biogas plant, which generates energy from organic materials collected in waste disposal. There, the municipal administration estimates a savings of R$ 250,000 on the electricity bill with the use of its own plant.
