Banco do Brasil, a CEBDS member company, has opened a bidding process for the lease of solar power plants in Ceará and Bahia. The auction is scheduled for February 3rd. With the new plants operational, financial savings will be R$1,400,000 (R$56 million) over a 15-year contract period.
The operation will mark the first two states in the Northeast to adopt a model already adopted by Banco do Brasil in other regions of the country. The tender covers electricity installation, maintenance, and distribution services, "using sustainable and renewable resources." One of the requirements set forth in the tender is that the service provided must be a distributed generation system, which is electricity generated near or at the point of consumption.
