O S (Centro Paula Souza) signed a technical cooperation agreement for installation of solar power plants em six more Etecs (Technical Schools) and Fatecs state (Faculties of Technology), with ccapacity of more than 680 kWp and an estimate of generation of 1.100 MWh/year.

Os photovoltaic systems will be implemented by the end of the year at Etecs Frei Arnaldo Maria de Itaporanga, in Votuporanga (SP); Prof. Armando José Farinazzo, from Fernandópolis (SP); and Sebastiana Augusta de Moraes, from Andradina (SP); in addition to Fatecs Jales, Tatuí and Franco da Rocha, all in the interior of São Paulo. 

The aagreement was signed with the concessionaire Neoenergia Elektro and is part of Pets (Energy Efficiency, Technology and Sustainability Program) of the S, under the supervision of the UIE (Infrastructure Unit). 

Since 2022, when it was created, the Pets has been looking for ways to make the school units at the educational center more sustainable. 

According to the institution, when students realize that their school is undergoing a transformation, they learn what can be done to reduce energy and help the environment.

Currently, the S has five Etecs running on solar energy. Installation has already been carried out on a sixth unit and as soon as the works are completed it will come into operation.

For now, there are no Fatecs running on solar energy, which means that the agreement signed with Elektro includes the first three units of the educational institution using the benefits of the renewable source.

  1. Need help
    Electric light please. I've been asking for four at Energisa. And there's always a barrier
    that I have a purchase and sale agreement and I don't have the registration of the piece we bought. Registration and of the entire share

  2. I have no electricity on my farm in Guarapuava and the Energisa company always has the obstacle of the small farm not having the registration number to have the electricity installed. The purchase was made with a purchase and sale agreement. We bought an off-grid plant with financing and four batteries have already failed twice. The Solar Maxx company claims that it is misuse. The problem is that it rains a lot here and sometimes the sun doesn't come out. I don't have any big things that use energy. And when night comes, we are left with candlelight. I came to the rural area to treat Parkinson's. I am a retired teacher and I need to be in a quiet environment. The Solar Maxx company no longer serves me.
