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.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

Japanese garbage collectors treat filthy trucks as if they were dealership cars, and the obsession with cleanliness is so absurd that they invented a washing machine that only exists for this type of vehicle.

Germany took 1,468 days to drill 9,101 meters of the Earth’s crust, faced temperatures of 265 degrees, crossed faults saturated by fluids under pressure, and revealed that the continental crust remains active, stressed, and permeable far beyond the limits that science considered possible.

In 1991, Brazil’s GDP was almost double India’s, and today it is little more than half: while India grew 6.5% per year and trained engineers, Brazil preferred to train lawyers, and now it is rushing to strengthen ties with the world’s fourth-largest economy.

The Brazilian city of the crooked buildings, which is being “swallowed” by the sea, receives more than R$ 20 million after a R$ 276.6 million package for 214 cities, with transfers of R$ 2.5 million per tourist resort.

Experts warn that salinization already threatens 1.4 billion hectares of soil on the planet and could put another 1 billion at risk, with China, the United States, and Russia among the affected countries and productivity losses that can reach 70% in degraded agricultural areas.
