The electrical energy sector in Brazil is constantly growing, with records for the expansion of electrical generation being broken every year. In 2023, Brazil installed 291 plants, with 10,3 GW of electrical energy generation capacity, a historic milestone for the country. This growth reflects the commitment to the search for cleaner and more sustainable sources of energy, boosting the renewable energy market and strengthening the national energy matrix.
Electrical generation is one of the fundamental pillars for the country's sustainable development, and initiatives to improve and expand electrical energy generation capacity continue to gain prominence. In addition to the expansion of plants, initiatives such as the change in the rules of the free natural gas market in São Paulo and the joint action of companies such as Comerc and Itaú in the electricity retail market demonstrate the diversification and innovation in Brazil's energy sector, promoting efficiency and sustainability in the supply of electrical energy to the population.
New trends in electrical energy generation
– As the demand for electricity grows, the generation capacity also expands to meet this need. In the last year, the wind energy accounted for almost half da installed power, closely followed by solar. There were 140 new parks, with 4,9 GW of capacity, equivalent to 47,65% of the total expansion.
- Bill Gates continues to invest in the renewable energy revolution, this time with foldable wind turbines, which are easier to transport and can be assembled 10 times faster than conventional ones.

The evolution of solar energy
– Solar energy came in second place, with 104 photovoltaic plants (4,0 GW), followed by 33 thermoelectric (1,2 GW), 11 SHPs (158 MW) and three CGHs (11,4 MW). This diversification in electrical generation is essential to guarantee the supply of electricity in a sustainable way.
Expansion of generation capacity in different regions
– The new plants came into operation in 19 states of the five Brazilian regions, highlighting places such as Bahia (2.614 MW), Rio Grande do Norte (2.278,5 MW) and Minas Gerais (2.025,7 MW). The country reached the mark of 199.324,5 MW of installed capacity, boosting the electricity generation Throughout the national territory.
Impacts on fossil fuels
Oil falls. Oil futures contracts fell, which demonstrates a scenario of transformation in the energy matrix, with direct impacts on electrical generation and solar energy photovoltaic. In addition international parity between gasoline and diesel prices signals significant changes in the electricity, especially with regard to technological neutrality.
Regulation and auctions
ANP approves auction. The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) approved the results of the 2nd Cycle of the Permanent Production Sharing Offer, highlighting the importance of leaders such as BP Energy in the energy sector. power generation. This approval directly impacts the ability to electrical generation in the country, driving the search for more sustainable sources.
Future of renewable energy
Accelerated decarbonization. The decarbonization agenda tends to accelerate in the coming years, with expectations of growth in renewable energy. The vision of neutrality for the Fuel of the Future and the search for alternatives to combat carbon emissions reflect an evolution in the fuel sector power generation, with positive impacts on solar energy and other clean sources.
Transformations in the energy market
São Paulo changes gas rules. Updating the rules for the free market in natural gas in the concession areas of the state of São Paulo highlight the transformations underway in the electricity, including the possibility of returning to the captive market and changes in supply methods, in a scenario of transition to more sustainable sources.
Strategic partnerships in the energy sector
Comerc and Itaú together. The partnership between Comerc, from Vibra Energia, and Itaú to operate in the free market electricity highlights the potential for growth and innovation in the sector. This association can boost the transition to renewable sources and the expansion of energy capacity power generation, especially in clean energies such as solar energy photovoltaic.
Leadership in the automobile industry
BYD passes Tesla. BYD's rise as the world's largest electric car manufacturer in relation to Tesla reflects a scenario of expansion and growing acceptance of electric mobility, boosting the solar energy and other clean sources in the search for a more sustainable energy matrix.
