Based on resources from the Research and Development Program of the National Electricity Agency (ANEEL), the Pernambuco Energy Company (CELPE) is developing a research project to implement an innovative electrical energy storage system for the Fernando de Noronha. Through the project Multiobjective Optimization of Distributed Energy Resources aimed at Sustainability and Reliability in Isolated Micro grids including Energy Storage System with Batteries, the Environmental Education Program is being implemented in the region. The Renewable Energy and Education for Sustainability Program seeks to know the local identity of the residents and introduce them into joint actions, seeking changes in individualistic habits and transforming citizens into true agents of sustainable good practices in the archipelago.
