ANNOUNCEMENT TO THE MARKET

 

 

CPFL Energia S.A. (“CPFL Energia” or “Company”) and CPFL Energias Renováveis S.A. (“CPFL Renováveis”), hereby jointly inform that, on this date, are inaugurating the Tanquinho Plant ("Plant"), the first solar power plant in the State of São Paulo and the largest in the country. Located in an area of 13,700 m² at Tanquinho Substation, from one of CPFL group's distributors, in Campinas (SP), the Tanquinho Plant has an installed capacity of 1.1 MWp and will generate approximately 1.6 GWh/year - enough to supply 657 clients per month with an average consumption of 200 kWh/month. 

 

The generation project of clean and renewable energy with photovoltaic solar panels, a pioneer in the State of São Paulo, was introduced to ANEEL through Call 013-2011 (Technical and Commercial Arrangements for Insertion of Solar Photovoltaic Generation in the Brazilian Energy Matrix) and approved in December 2011. CPFL Renováveis was responsible for construction of the project and will be responsible for the management and operation of the Plant. 

 

The project, which received investments of R$ 13.8 million in research and development, aims to promote photovoltaic technology in the country, stimulate the uptake of knowledge, develop the national production chain for this type of power generation and provide training for people. 

 

 

São Paulo, November 27, 2012.
