Discover how Mato Grosso do Sul became a reference in renewable energy in Brazil, expanding its capacity by 11% and investing heavily in solar, hydro and biomass energy for a more sustainable future.
Expansion of energy generation in Mato Grosso do Sul
Mato Grosso do Sul Expands Power Generation by 11% and Strengthens Sustainability
Mato Grosso do Sul has made significant progress in its energy matrix em 2024, increasing its installed capacity by 11%. In this way, the state now has a total of 9.843 MW of energy, consolidating itself as one of the leaders in the production of renewable energy in Brazil.
Furthermore, this growth reflects the state's strong commitment to energy transition, with a predominance of sustainable sources.
- Solar energy in 2025: the challenges have increased, but so have the benefits
- Power China may increase investments in solar energy in Ceará; company already invests more than R$1,8 billion in the state
- Easy-to-install wind turbine costs less than 3 THOUSAND, can generate energy 24 hours a day, supply 50% to 100% of the consumption of a conventional residence and still last 25 years
- Santa Catarina invests in solar energy to strengthen the countryside
According to the website Digital DiaryInter 2020 and 2024, the state's generating capacity grew on average 8% per year. This advance was driven by state policies e private investments in the renewable energy.
Predominance of Renewable Energy
Currently, more than 90% of energy capacity from Mato Grosso do Sul comes from renewable sources. Among them, the following stand out:
- Hydropower (54,5%): Main source of electricity generation in the state.
- Biomass (24,3%): Mainly from the agro-industrial sector.
- Solar energy (15,3%): Sector that is growing rapidly.
Furthermore, with only 5,9% of energy originating from fossil sources, Mato Grosso do Sul stands out as a model in energy sustainability e reduction of environmental impact.
The impact of solar energy growth in the state
Growth of Solar Energy and Distributed Generation
A photovoltaic solar energy became one of the highlights of electric sector in the state. In this sense, the distributed generation, which involves small producers e consumer units, grown up 53% in 2024, reaching 132.458 units installed.
In this way, the solar energy represents 99,7% da capacity installed in this segment.
According to the website Canal SolarOn 2019, Mato Grosso do Sul had just over 20 thousand distributed generation units. This number has grown exponentially in recent years. five years due to the greater technology accessibility e tax breaks.
In addition, the residential consumers lead this expansion, representing 45% of installed power e 81% of the projects distributed generation.
To enable this growth, tax breaks e financing have stimulated the solar panel installation nose residences.
Comparison between distributed generation and centralized generation
Centralized Generation and Sustainability
Despite the advancement of decentralized solar energy, centralized generation (large plants) still represents 84,7% of electrical production of State.
However, Mato Grosso do Sul accompanies the global trends and expands the investments in sustainable plants.
According to the site Energy TodayInter 2018 and 2023, the installed capacity of centralized generation de solar energy in the state increased by more than 300%. This growth placed the state among the states with the highest expansion in this sector.
Currently, 88,8% of projects under development in the state electricity sector belong to photovoltaic solar energy, reinforcing the strategy of diversification and sustainability.
The future of sustainable energy in Mato Grosso do Sul
Mato Grosso do Sul and the Future of Sustainable Energy
With increased energy capacity and the bet on renewable sources, Mato Grosso do Sul consolidates itself as a reference in Brazilian energy transition.
In addition, state policies and encouraging the adoption of clean energy drive the economic development e reduce dependence on fossil fuels.
According to the portal Brasil EnergiaOn 2025, the forecast is that the state will surpass the mark of 10.500 MW of installed capacity. In this way, Mato Grosso do Sul will consolidate itself as one of the largest producers of clean energy the country.
The expansion of solar energy in Mato Grosso do Sul represents an example of sustainable growth. Thus, it benefits the population com clean and cheaper energy.
The trend indicates that new renewable energy projects will continue to emerge, promoting a more sustainable and efficient protocols for state and for Brazil.
