This Monday, August 2, 2021, at the headquarters of the Center of Excellence in Energy of Acre (Ceeac) the signing of a contract for 6 researchers and 5 interns who will work in the institution's new project, called Structuring the Center for Excellence in Public Lighting in the Amazon (Neipa), object of the ECV-PRFP-001/2021 agreement entered into with Eletrobras.
The event was attended by the Administrative-Financial Director Gleyson de Souza Oliveira, who at the time signed the new contracts and welcomed the new scholarship holders, and researcher Lucas Matheus Lima, who gave an institutional presentation of Ceeac followed by an overview of the project, and other employees of the Center.
The project aims to train local labor and contribute to the development of the North region, aiming at planning public space lighting systems that use less electricity and require less maintenance, thus ensuring more quality in the use of spaces and less spending for city halls. In addition to providing jobs and training, the project will upgrade the public lighting system on the campus of the Federal University of Acre, replacing conventional lighting with LED, which consumes less energy and longer life, in addition to installing intelligent systems for control and operation, which will facilitate maintenance operations and enable the institution to efficiently manage its lighting system.
In addition to the training courses and retrofitting of public lighting on the ring road at the Federal University of Acre (UFAC), the project will also carry out the implementation and development of a public lighting laboratory for testing equipment and training professionals, in addition to carrying out workshops and scientific dissemination of knowledge produced during the project.
