Governor Alfonso Durazo Montaño concluded the first stage of the Distributed Solar Generation social program, which includes the installation of photovoltaic solar plants in communities in the mountainous region, a project that is part of the Sonora Sustainable Energy Plan and aims to improve the quality of life and reduce energy costs for Sonoran families in remote communities.

The Governor pointed out that with this initiative the State is making progress in the implementation of clean energy, bringing a direct benefit to the households that need it most, while also positioning the State as a reference in the use of renewable energies.

In its first phase, solar plants were installed in the municipalities of Bavispe with 1,169 beneficiaries, Bacerac with 1,112 beneficiaries, Huachinera with 810 and Bacadéhuachi with 979; in addition, the solar plants of Punta Chueca, El Desemboque, Naco and Nacozari were rehabilitated.

This project will directly benefit hundreds of families by reducing the cost of electricity bills, said Governor Durazo and emphasized that this is only the beginning of this ambitious project that will bring relief to the residents of rural communities, since the program’s goal is to cover a total of 40 locations across
the State of Sonora.

“The goal is to bring this benefit to all communities that have historically been neglected, ensuring that, by the end of my term, these families will experience a real improvement in their well-being,” said Governor Alfonso Durazo.
