Bravo Valley is called Magic Town and is part of the series of dams that supply water to Mexico City and some municipalities in the State of Mexico, through the Cutzamala system. Approximately more than 100,000 inhabitants live in the city and its surroundings, plus the floating population that arrives on weekends either to hotels or to houses.
The local economy is based on agriculture and tourism these last 18 months, the economy of the locals has been hit hard by the pandemic, as stated by María Teresa Zavala, vice president of Coparmex in Bravo Valley.
He explained that since 2020, “Mexico has suffered a reduction in opportunities for training, employment, income and unfortunately the government maintains an attitude alien to the idiosyncrasies of the less favored.”
“With a group of businessmen we are developing the sustainable solar panel program and it is intended to help the family economy and highlight the need to do something for the environment. The project has a great viability since the annual average temperature is 15º. C, which allows a high efficiency of the panels.
“This program can help reduce dependence on the energy received from the hydroelectric plant that belongs to the Cutzamala system, due to climate change, the reservoirs of the dams have received less rainwater and therefore in the dry season they it has had to control the flow of water from the dams, “said Zavala.
Perspective
As a vision is forming in Bravo Valley a model city where these solar panels are installed, managed by leading companies in Mexico that would remain as investors in this project by installing in the large surrounding areas.
“We will seek support from universities, Fide, and companies specialized in the generation, saving and efficient use of energy,” said Zavala, who is an advisor to companies listed in Fortune 500 from Mexico. The environmental and climate change part will be favored by:
- Re vegetation country-city.
- Rescue of rivers and bodies of water.
- Sustainable water management.
- Zero garbage.
- Comprehensive and sustainable mobility.
- Air quality
- Solar city.
“If we can self-generate electricity, we can form solar energy for sustainable MSMEs”, concluded María Teresa Zavala.
