According to businessman and former congressman Edmar Arruda, Tapejara could become the second Brazilian city and the first in Rio Grande do Sul to implement this type of plant for generating clean and renewable energy.

“The city becomes an example for Brazil and goes down in history,” said the businessman.

Mayor Rodrigo Pezão spoke about the importance of the project and the jobs that will be created during its execution:

“We did a lot in the first term, but this project will be marked by its greatness and the economic benefits for the people of Tapejara with the installation of the photovoltaic solar power plant.”

Investment

The project will require an investment of around R$ 15 million, through a public-private partnership. The estimate is that after 72 months, the municipality of Tapejara will save more than R$ 70 million over 19 years.
