The solar power plant will be located next to the Deputado João Bittar Júnior Water Park and, in addition to supplying energy to residences, the plant with several photovoltaic panels will also provide energy to the complex, leisure park, stadium, and Arena Sabiazinho.
The plant, besides benefiting the environment, will bring significant savings to the state of MG. Thus, the 628 photovoltaic panels of 395 W will generate more than 240 kilowatts of power and, annually, an average of 390 megawatts of energy.

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.
Furthermore, another significant savings in the municipality of Uberlândia (MG) will be related to electricity bills. According to data, by the third year of energy generation through the solar power plant, around R$ 300 thousand will be saved per year.
Words From The Mayor Of Uberlândia About The Solar Energy Project
According to Odelmo Leão, mayor of Uberlândia, this is yet another innovative project in the solar energy sector that promises to bring enormous improvements to Uberlândia (MG) in various ways. “In addition to having a plant with photovoltaic panels that generate clean energy, we will be responsible for our own energy production,” highlighted the mayor.
The improvement also includes the benefit known as payback. Once the solar power plant pays for itself with the energy generated, it brings savings on the end consumer’s bill. The company responsible for installing the plant with hundreds of photovoltaic panels will be Solar Power. The total investment for the installation of the solar power plant will be nearly R$ 900 thousand, and the responsible authorities for overseeing the project will be the Secretariats of Government, Communication, Environment, and Urban Services.
