Enel X solar power project offers sustainability and economical gains for Brava Sport Center gym in Goiânia

The energy transition to a low-carbon economy is one of the most important commitments for governments, companies and society to ensure the security of life on the planet in the coming decades and it being boosted by renewable energy sources.

Aware of its responsibility, the Brava Sport Center gym in Goiânia (GO) took an important step in this direction. With a project signed and executed by Enel X, in partnership with Ecolutions, it will be able to supply clean and renewable energy to fulfil around 75% of the venture’s energy needs.

The project featured the installation of 440 photovoltaic panels on the gym’s roof, which covers an area of about 1,200sq m. The system will have a total capacity of 147.4 kWp, enough energy to supply around 60 homes with an average monthly consumption of 290 Kwh/month.

On the economic front, with the solar plant the gym will enjoy savings of up to 70% in its monthly electricity bill, and when the gym’s energy consumption is lower than the capacity generated by the plant, the excess will be made available to Enel Distribuição Goiás, generating credit for the energy injected and discounts on the customer’s energy bill total.

In a statement, Dr. Alan Rassi, Brava Sport Center director, also highlighted the importance of the safety element in choosing a supplier for such a relevant project:

“We evaluated the proposals from several companies that offered solar power and the safety that this industry could offer.”

Energy transition: act now to ensure life on the planet

Decarbonising the economy is one of the most important missions today to promote a healthy and wholesome future for global society.

The consequences of climate change can be severe across the planet, so the energy transition, with the increased use of renewable sources for the production of clean electricity, is a trend that should be accelerated in the coming years across the world.

Solar power: environmental and economic sustainability

Brazil has an immense potential to lead the world ranking for the use of renewable energy sources due to the abundance of natural resources, such as high levels of solar incidence.

In addition to being completely renewable, infinite and non-polluting, solar energy is free and provides a reduction in the electricity bill of about 90%. Furthermore, photovoltaic systems have a very low maintenance requirement and feature a long service life, so they compensate for the installation costs in a short time.

The distributed generation sector, a modality that allows companies and households to produce their own energy from renewable sources, has grown in recent years in Brazil. July data from Aneel (Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency) reveal that the sector has tripled the volume of installed power in the country in the last 12 months, surpassing 3 GW in micro and mini electricity generation projects. Still according to Aneel, Brazil has around 264,000 plants in operation, serving more than 340,000 consumer units in the country.  

Digital cities and electric mobility: solutions that depend on solar power

The growth of solar energy production in Brazil is a major factor in the development of digital cities in our country.

By allowing decentralised energy production, photovoltaic systems will be able to supply the technology networks that will allow connectivity between the public administration and the population, in a more efficient, safe and sustainable way.

Another sector that will gain more power with the increased supply of solar energy is that of electric mobility.

Urban mobility is responsible for a large part of greenhouse gas emissions, which is why the replacement of vehicles powered by fossil fuels with electric ones, using clean energy, is also a fundamental measure to reduce air pollution in urban centres and mitigate the consequences of climate change.
