The specific objective of this consultancy is to develop an optimal georeferenced Plan to facilitate universal access to the electricity service, within the framework of the More Lights for the Amazon, to the beneficiaries (consumer units) who must be identified and characterized in remote and isolated areas of the legal Amazon in the States of Amazonas, Acre, Pará and Roraima.
The products of this consultancy complement the information and analysis carried out by Ministry of Energy and Mines (MME) for the conception, design, and implementation of the More Lights for the Amazon Program. As a result of the consultancy, a georeferenced electrification plan is expected to be prepared, based on GIS information, to facilitate the provision of electricity to remote and isolated communities in the States subject to the consultancy, considering the various options for supplying the electrical service with individual photovoltaic systems or PV mini-grids.
