In Curitiba, the Caximba solar pyramid broke the energy generation record in December 2023: 600,000 kilowatt-hours. In eight months, the site produced enough energy to supply 19,690 homes for 30 days.
The Caccimba Solar Pyramid has converted an old landfill into an electricity generator. There are just over 8,000 solar panels installed on the site, which are responsible for producing around 30% of the energy for the municipality’s public buildings.
Director of Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy Generation at the Curitiba City Council, João Carlos Fernández, explained that three more renewable energy projects will be installed in the city.
In Curitiba, the initiative resulted in the provision of R$ 1.76 million to the municipal treasury. In the photovoltaic model, energy production uses solar panels made of semiconductor materials. In other words, when light particles collide with objects, electrons in the material move and generate electricity.

With the same goal as the capital of Parana, of generating clean, renewable solar energy, a storage terminal in the port of Paranagua, on the state’s coast, has installed plants that produce up to 20,000 kilowatt-hours (kWh). This is enough to supply a private truck yard that can accommodate 450 vehicles.
Kelly Frizo, communications advisor for Cattalini Terminais Marítimos, explains the results obtained through this initiative.
One of the main goals of the recent United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 28) is to accelerate renewable energy production by 2030.
