4th Latin
American Distributed Microgeneration Seminar and Showcase
GOALS
To debate
and expose the role of clean energy microgeneration with renewable sources in
Brazil and cooperation with Latin American countries, their prospects,
challenges and progress, particularly in the role of an important agent in reducing
extreme poverty and fostering new business markets.
At the
4th Microgerar, the following themes will be discussed:
-
Advances and challenges of connectivity for energy microgeneration:
laws, regulations, distributed generation connected and not connected to the
power grid.
-
Energy trade model: retail market, rural energy
cooperatives, social, legal and market impacts.
-
Economic development and creation of green jobs:
impact on Brazilian industry, sustainable business opportunities.
-
Latin American initiatives of renewable energy use and
socio-productive inclusion.
Target Audience
This is a matter that
concerns not only energy companies, but people who operate in family agriculture,
promotion of social economy and technological innovation, whether governments,
businesses, organizations, universities. All segments of the Brazilian
government with the potential to work directly on projects of rural and urban energy
microgeneration, poverty reduction and social entrepreneurship will be invited,
as well as researchers, students and international technical cooperation
agencies and civil society organizations in Latin America that work directly
with the theme. Microgeneration project funding entities will also be present.
ABOUT RENOVE
RENOVE
NETWORK is an entity composed of non-governmental organizations concerned with
the dissemination of knowledge about renewable energy and its use for
sustainable development. Established in 2000, it seeks to encourage the
formulation of public policies that promote the use of renewable energy in the
country and foster projects among its members that show different ways of using
renewable energy to increase production on family agriculture, in order to
promote access to energy as a form of mitigation in communities where the
arrival of conventional networks is geographically and economically difficult, as
well as the development of sustainable social technologies through economic
solidarity and respect for local cultures.
In this
context, Renove advocates decentralized microgeneration as the best alternative
of energy inclusion, overcoming poverty and increasing the productive activity
of thousands of Brazilians who still live in darkness, despite all government
efforts, especially through the Luz para
Todos (“Energy for All”) Program. And, after years of debate that
culminated in the Normative Resolution 482/12 of the National Agency of
Electric Energy, a new perspective opens in Brazil in the countryside and in
the city, diversification of the energy matrix with hundreds of initiatives
using sources renewable in the consumption site and more, with the possibility
of selling the surplus of small-scale production. It is, undoubtedly, a great
time in the Brazilian energy sector that can and should be known by the other
countries of our continent, to share experiences, difficulties, and advance to
a continental energy integration.
This is
the proposal of the 4th Microgerar: Renewable Energy Seminar and Showcase. Renove promotes this
event since 2008 at the national level and, on the face of advances in
regulatory standards and ongoing debates on legislation, we believe that it is
time to broaden the audience and make the event open to all of Latin America.
Hence the proposal of, in 2013, holding it in Foz do Iguaçu, a triple border
city and house to the University of Latin America - UNILA the Itaipu
Technological Park (PTI), and with this institutional support, the event is
sure to bring a diverse public. As the edition held in Brasilia in May 2012,
Microgerar registration will be free, so that a greater number of entities can
participate, display their research and innovations, as well as monitor and
contribute to debates.
Additionally,
through a cooperation protocol signed between Renove and the Brazilian
Cooperation Agency, Ministry of Foreign Affairs, we intend to replicate
microgeneration experiences that were successful in Brazil in countries where
there is interest in energy cooperation and agriculture. An international event
such as this one can show paths to such future cooperation.
