With diligent and organized team, the branch of Para controls the operation of 23 plants since 1997

The engineer Luiz Carlos Bastos is the general manager of the first Guascor’s branch in Brazil. Under his leadership, a dedicated team enables continuous operation of power plants in 23 locations.
“During ten years”, he says, “The numbers of plants attended impress by showing a growth rate above the national indices”. With data recently published by the IBGE, he points out: “While population growth in these localities was 19.1% in ten years, in the same period the consumption of electricity increased by 82.2%”.

“Electricity consumption per capita has grown considerably,” he says. “People have come to rely on the stability and our capacity to meet the increased demand, and incorporated new consumption habits, improving their quality of life”. This is evident when we face with economic and social development of municipalities, which presents more dynamism in trade, diversity in industrial activities and possibility to study at night, among other important achievements.

Even the UTEs, as the plants are known in the localities of Guascor, grew in importance. They have become technological, environmental and even cultural reference centers. “We received visits from schools, explain the plant operation and take the opportunity to provide environmental education”, tells Ronaldo Coelho, responsible for the Environment Division of the company.

“In a matter of fact, our work goes far beyond the production of energy”, says Ronaldo. “We participate in community life as much as our operators-maintainers, who are also consumers and opinion leaders, with prominent role in the localities where they live and work, “he adds.

On the initiative of Ronaldo, the branch and 23 plants have libraries that were named with the names of employees, pioneers of the company, regardless of hierarchy. The books are on loan to employees and the public.

Winning vegetable-garden

The branch of Para is literally reaping the fruit of a communitarian vegetable-garden in Muaná plant in the region of Marajó.

This time, the harvest came in the form of the First Prize in SESI Quality at Work (PSQT) in the state phase, Environmental Development category – Large Business. The garden of Muaná is maintained since 2008 by a partnership between Guascor, City Hall, Technical Assistance Company and Rural Extension (Emater) and municipal secretaries.

The production is donated to the plant’s employees, their families and supporters of the project. The garden receives visits from schools and helps teaching the basics of healthy eating and environmental preservation. In 2010, more than 3,000 people were benefited by the project, which is coordinated by Rosangela Correa, social resources analyst.

The area has developed other projects in 2010 as:
Environmental agents – training of 18 environmental “inspectors” in Monte Alegre, in the Lower Amazon;
Athletes of the Future – monitoring of 85 children and adolescents with sports in the SESI-PA, in Belém.

Sesi invited the band Pura Energia (Pure Energy) (formed by co-workers from the branch of Para) to perform at the awards event, which had the support of some members of the Choral from the branch of Rondônia.
