en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil's Minas Gerais State Energy Company (Cemig) has issued a tender notice for the "Cemig Agrivoltaic 24-Hour Program," planning to invest up to BRL 50 million to promote the deployment of systems combining photovoltaic power generation and battery energy storage in rural areas of the state.

The project will provide selected rural customers with a subsidy of at least 60% for the purchase of photovoltaic power plants and energy storage systems.

The project is implemented through Cemig's Energy Efficiency Program (PEE), which is regulated by the Brazilian National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) and conducted in partnership with the Cemig Agriculture Program. The project aims to select proposals submitted by specialized companies, Energy Service Companies (ESCOs), associations, and public or private entities interested in developing solutions for the rural sector.

Cemig Energy Efficiency Manager Thiago Batista stated that battery energy storage is one of the most promising technologies in the energy transition. Combining photovoltaic power generation with energy storage systems can provide rural producers with greater autonomy, operational security, and energy efficiency, which is particularly important for activities that cannot be interrupted, such as irrigation, milk production, poultry farming, pig farming, and agricultural product processing.

Project proposals and required documents can be submitted until June 26, 2026. The selection process is expected to conclude by August 31, 2026. Interested parties can view the complete regulations, participation criteria, and schedule on the Cemig website.
