Explanation:
This is how I interpret the "independente" here in this context.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stand-alone_power_system

A stand-alone power system (SAPS or SPS), also known as remote area power supply (RAPS), is an off-the-grid electricity system for locations that are not fitted with an electricity distribution system. Typical SAPS include one or more methods of electricity generation, energy storage, and regulation.

Electricity is typically generated by one or more of the following methods:

Solar panel
Wind turbine
Geothermal source
Micro combined heat and power
Micro hydro
Diesel or biofuel generator

I would want to check the wider context of this. "Baixada" can also mean "download" in some contexts.
