Guanajuato is in the 4th place in installed capacity to generate photovoltaic energy making good use of its geographic location
Guanajuato/Gto News
The Government of the People reaffirms its commitment to accelerate the energy transition to renewable energy sources in its public buildings.
Guanajuato is committed to harnessing its renewable energy potential and energy sustainability as a measure to mitigate the adverse effects of Climate Change, generating sustainable buildings with a low carbon footprint, which represents its position of saying yes to renewable energy and accelerating the energy transition in Guanajuato.
Through the Energy Sustainability Program of the Secretary of Water and Environment, the installation of photovoltaic systems interconnected to the grid has been achieved in:
- 25 state public buildings
- 26 basic level schools
- 1 higher level school
- 50 homes
Achieving the mitigation of more than 1,500 tons of CO2eq per year, an estimated generation of 1,668 GWh (Gigawatts-hour) of renewable electrical energy.
To date, they have generated more than 8.2 million pesos in economic savings due to the reduction in electricity bills at these sites, resulting in the installation of 1,061.06 kWp (kilowatts-peak).
Guanajuato has great potential in renewable energy sources, being particularly attractive in relation to solar and wind energy.
According to the Energy Regulatory Commission -CRE-, Guanajuato ranks 10th with the best solar radiation, with an average of 6.17 HSP -peak solar hours-.
Considering all the photovoltaic systems installed in Guanajuato, we are ranked 4th nationwide with the highest installed capacity for distributed generation, which corresponds mostly to photovoltaic systems.
This is because the figure of 248.90 Megawatts (MW) was reached, which translates into mitigating more than 184 thousand tons of CO2 equivalent per year, with figures as of June 2024, from the CRE.
Additionally, 5 island-type photovoltaic systems with energy storage using lithium technology batteries have been implemented in sites that do not have electricity from the CFE grid. Such is the case of Ladrilleras El Refugio, in which the Comprehensive Strategy of the Brick Sector was complemented.
