Microsolar Farm III

Direct impact:

• Contribution to the decarbonization in Brazil by avoiding CO2 emissions: The whole operation is estimated to produce 163 MWh of clean and renewable energy per year, avoiding the emission of almost 65.2 tonnes of CO2 equivalent annually, equivalent to planting around 2964 trees.
• Cost reduction for the final clients: energy production through renewable sources under the Brazilian distributed energy regulation avoids transmission and distribution costs, making this a more cost-efficient option than the regular energy market. Furthermore, with a fixed discount on the retail price, the end client will always pay less than retail prices. Recap estimates an average reduction of 15% in the cost of the kWh for the clients of these projects.

Indirect Impact

• Promotion of distributed energy in Brazil: with its Solar Funds, Recap enables smaller organizations of different sectors to benefit from renewable energy sources. With the micro-scale generation plants, the solution is easily scalable and allows end clients with no roof area to have similar benefits as they would with rooftop solar systems.
• Generation of income through micro solar plants: the solar panels are installed on leased land, which provides extra income for the small landowners (farm or fazenda owners) in Brazil’s countryside.
• Support local companies: Recap partners with Brazilian EPC companies and energy traders for the development of this project, strengthening the distributed energy sector in the country.
