Sicredi's investment will boost the installation of solar energy panels in homes, businesses and rural properties
Sicredi, one of Brazil's leading cooperative financial institutions, was awarded outstanding funding of US$213 million by the European Investment Bank (EIB). The objective of this investment is to boost the adoption of solar energy in the country, through the installation of photovoltaic solar panels in homes, small and medium-sized companies and rural properties, according to the Power Technology website.
As an organization recognized for its commitment to sustainability and regional development, Sicredi will use the resources provided by the EIB to expand its operations in the renewable energy sector. The implementation of solar panels will allow beneficiaries to reduce their energy costs and promote a transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy matrix.
In Brazil, solar energy has become an increasingly attractive option, taking advantage of the vast areas of the country with high levels of solar radiation. With this financing, Sicredi will be able to offer favorable credit conditions to customers interested in adopting this form of energy generation. This will provide access to a source of renewable energy and economical both for residences and for small and medium-sized companies and rural properties.
- Offshore wind energy in Brazil could lead a revolution and ensure a sustainable future
- China, the world's largest producer, importer and consumer of coal, has achieved the unthinkable: renewables have surpassed fossil fuels
- The infinite energy source we've been searching for for centuries has been revealed; the problem is that we have to go down to the bottom of the sea to get it
- Amazing innovation: Swedish company NoviOcean creates floating platform that generates clean energy 24 hours a day, combining solar, wind and wave energy in a single system!
The benefits of solar energy in Brazil
In addition to the environmental benefits, the expansion of solar energy will also have positive economic impacts. Reducing energy costs will directly benefit households and businesses, increasing their competitiveness and freeing up resources for investments in other areas. In addition installation of panels solar panels by Sicredi will boost the local solar energy industry, generating jobs and promoting sustainable development in the communities served.
