The managing director of the Regional Development Bank of the Far South (BRDE), Orlando Pessuti, and the president of the Federation of Industries of Paraná (FIEP), Edson Campagnolo, signed this Thursday (10) a technical cooperation agreement to support investments in projects related to Energy Efficiency in the industrial sector.
The proposal is to increase the competitiveness of industries in Paraná, from the reduction of energy costs and the consumption of natural resources, as a way of respecting the environment and encouraging innovation.
The agreement is part of BRDE Energia, a program that offers credit lines for projects involving renewable energy and energy efficiency, with onlending from BNDES and FINEP. The bank will also use its own resources for another line of the program, in the amount of R$ 60 million.
Under the terms of technical cooperation, the FIEP System will guide entrepreneurs on the financing conditions provided for in the BRDE Energia program and the necessary documentation for the process, as well as indicate offers of technical services related to energy efficiency that will integrate the dossier necessary for the protocol of projects with BRDE.
BRDE Energy
BRDE Energia is a program to support the financing of energy efficiency and distributed microgeneration projects. It includes replacement of equipment, implementation of energy consumption management and control systems, modernization of production facilities, among other initiatives.
The objective is to support companies and new ventures in their investments in energy efficiency, through the granting of credit through specific financing lines. The program will also focus on promoting investment in the generation of energy from renewable sources.
Companies, rural properties, public entities and other institutions are eligible for financing. The project must detail the set of actions and goals that should contribute to the reduction of waste and rationalization of energy use. The financed items are:
• Research and development of new products, processes or services, as well as replacement and/or improvement of existing ones, aiming to promote greater energy efficiency in the productive or commercial environment.
• Modernization and/or adaptation of production or commercial facilities in order to provide greater energy efficiency.
• Acquisition of software and services related to energy efficiency projects.
• Acquisition of machines and equipment with better energy performance.
• Replacement of traditional public or business lighting systems with more efficient systems.
• Implementation of more efficient electric energy transmission and distribution systems and smart grids (“Smart Grid”).
• Implementation of distributed micro and mini-generation systems, including imported equipment.
• Expansion or implementation of a steam or electricity generation system from biomass, wind energy, solar energy and small hydroelectric plants.
Fees vary depending on the nature of the investment and the term of the transaction. The lowest rates are for innovation projects, with a cost of TJLP+1.0%a.a. and term of up to 8 years. In other lines, the total term can reach up to 12 years.
