The Installation of a Photovoltaic Plant Will Reduce Electricity Costs for Farmers in the Ponto Novo Irrigation District in Bahia

The Ponto Novo Irrigation District in Bahia is on the right path when it comes to sustainability. One of the actions that aligns with this trend is the possibility of installing a Photovoltaic Plant, which will convert solar energy into electrical energy.

Currently, one of the most expensive costs for maintaining agricultural activities in the DIPN in Bahia is the electricity bill.

Thinking about promoting a routine that meets the current needs of local farmers without compromising the ability to meet the same needs in the future, the installation of the photovoltaic panel plant was one alternative to improve the current situation of the farmers.

To this end, the Administrative Manager Eleilson Gama met in Salvador last Thursday (27) with Josias Gomes – Secretary of Rural Development of Bahia (SDR), the licensed Federal Deputy, and a group of engineers with the common idea of constructing a Photovoltaic Plant in the Ponto Novo Irrigation Project.

Eleilson Gama states that “The installation of a photovoltaic plant is an increasingly attractive alternative for generating clean and renewable energy, free from pollution and profitable, consequently reducing the electricity bill for farmers, which will make the activities in the irrigated area more viable.”

According to Josias Gomes, “Promoting public-private partnerships that enable the creation of a plant that generates energy at differentiated prices will be a milestone that enhances the actions developed in the Irrigated District. We are quite optimistic about this possibility of further investment in Ponto Novo, which will also directly and indirectly benefit the entire region.”

“The project for supplying photovoltaic energy to the Ponto Novo Irrigation District is very viable, with a reasonable payment cost; the investment can be for a maximum period of 8 to 10 years, and they will be able to enjoy very low-cost energy for 25 years. Photovoltaic energy is already a reality in Brazil, it is growing significantly worldwide, there are already very important initiatives in this area, and Brazil is starting to ride this wave as well. For Ponto Novo, we all believe this will be very important,” said engineer Dr. Albert.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

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.

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.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

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.

Embrapa takes cashew, peanuts, and sesame to the world’s largest seed bank in Norway, where Brazil has already stored more than 8,000 samples since 2012 against pests and climate change.

China prepares mBridge, a new digital payment system with blockchain that promises transactions in seconds, lower fees, and the advancement of the digital renminbi while aiming to reduce dependence on the dollar in global trade.

Norway will excavate 3 million cubic meters of rock to open a 1,700-meter maritime tunnel, where ships will pass through a mountain in 10 minutes, escaping a stretch that has killed more than 30 people since 1900.

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.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.
