Resumen

This Law, consisting of 11 articles, creates the State Policy to Encourage the Generation and Use of Solar Energy (Pró-Solar) with the purpose of harnessing the solar potential of the State to rationalize the consumption of electric energy. Pro-Solar aims to: I - increase the use of solar energy in the state energy matrix; II - stimulate the implementation of solar energy systems and investments in this area, including technological development and photo-voltaic and photo-thermal generation, for commercialization and self-consumption in urban and rural areas, by public and private initiative, considering residential, community use, commercial, industrial and agricultural sectors; III - especially, to encourage the generation and use of photo-voltaic energy in areas far from the electricity distribution network; IV - transform the State into a national reference for generation and consumption of solar energy; V - reduce the demand for electricity at times of peak consumption; VI - encourage the implantation of industries of equipment, materials and components used in solar energy systems, propitiating the generation of employment and income; VII - promote: a) training programmes in all stages of the solar energy production chain; b) study on the application of the use of electric energy from solar energy; c) educational campaigns on the advantages of using solar energy; VIII - contribute to the reduction of the indices related to the emission of greenhouse gases; IX - encourage public institutions to develop research programmes aimed at increasing the generation and use of solar energy in Tocantins; etc.
