Brazilian power distributor Celesc has picked the local subsidiary of French utility Engie to install 1,000 rooftop PV arrays over the next 12 months under a new subsidy scheme.

“This is a model that will be implemented in other states [in Brazil],” said Rodolfo Pinto, CEO of Engie Solar, the company’s local rooftop unit. “It’s rewarding to participate in this pioneering programme because our company aims to be leader in Brazil’s rooftop market.”
