The State Government of ES In Partnership With ABSOLAR Is Creating A Solar Energy Project That Will Be Able To Triple Investments Not Only In The Region But Around Brazil

The program responsible for tripling investments in solar energy in ES is called Programa Gerar, with full support from the Brazilian Solar Photovoltaic Energy Association (ABSOLAR). The project could be a milestone in Brazilian distributed generation.

ES Plans To Take An Even Better Position In The State Solar Energy Ranking

Currently, ES occupies the 16th position in the state ranking of photovoltaic energy in distributed generation, generating around 73.4 megawatts (MW) of installed capacity in this modality, totaling about 5.3 thousand small-scale generation systems.

The idea is that with the project, more investments in solar energy will be sought for the region and consequently the position in the state ranking will improve. The state of ES has already received over R$ 350 million in investments from local entrepreneurs and consumers.

Recently, the Minister of Mines and Energy, Eduardo Braga, signed an ordinance creating the Distributed Generation Development Program (ProGD) to encourage the generation of photovoltaic energy from solar panels within consumer units that can be shared with the electricity distribution system. The government foresees a potential investment of R$ 100 billion in these technologies, with 2.7 million consumer units expected to join the program by 2030.

— Brazil has significant solar potential. Our location is within the solar belt. The highest intensity occurs from September to November, during the dry season, when we have lower hydropower generation. There is quite significant complementarity — said the Secretary of Electricity of the MME, Ildo Grudtner, highlighting the environmental advantages of the system.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Women farmers in Guatemala bring water to dry crops, create a plantain brand, and help restore mangroves.

Two helicopters, 41 people, and over 38 tons of bait were mobilized on a remote Pacific atoll to eliminate rats; five years later, native trees grew by 5,000%, seabirds gained habitat, and the rainforest began to regenerate.

A Japanese carpenter took five months to build a house by hand with screwless joints, knot-free cedar, and a finish that a 40-year veteran American contractor said he had never seen anything like anywhere in the world.

Florida dumped 2 million tires into the ocean near Fort Lauderdale to create an artificial reef, but hurricanes scattered the rubber across the seabed, and cleanup efforts initiated decades later are still trying to correct the environmental disaster without a guarantee of full coral recovery.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
