The Trend Is That New Records for Solar Power Generation Will Be Broken in Brazil Throughout This Year as Incentives Remain

Brazil’s solar power generation in February rose to 623 average megawatts (MWa), up from 486 MWa a year ago, increasing by 28%. Wind generation also improved by 18.5%, reaching 4,057 MWa. Its share of the mix increased to 5.9%, compared to 4.9% the previous year, according to the InfoMercado Semanal from CCEE (Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization), the weekly bulletin for energy generation and consumption that includes:

Wind Energy
Solar Energy
Biomass
Hydroelectric Plants

Hydroelectric plants (UHE) produced 55,879 MWa, slightly above the 55,355 MWa from the previous year. Biomass energy generation, on the other hand, fell from 955 MWa to 917 MWa. But this number is expected to change soon, as Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) approved last Tuesday (03) new projects for 15 plants in Brazil (check it out).

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Instead of digging new holes, scientists dive into an abandoned acid mine lake in Montana and discover that the toxic water has already done the work of extracting rare earths from the rock on its own.

The photo that changed airport security worldwide was accidentally taken in Sydney in 1970, when a camera inadvertently captured the fall of a teenager from the landing gear of an airplane.

Argentina’s TV erupts and fires back: “the minister is selling us out to the Brazilians” after a snow campaign becomes the target of mockery.

A Brazilian municipality relies on 97% federal money, has 14 secretariats, 11 councilors, and a budget of R$ 131 million, but only 915 people are formally employed, and no one knows how the other 25,000 live.

Japan teaches the world how giant arched gates weighing up to 530 tons protect Osaka from devastating typhoons, block storm surges in minutes, and drain 330 m³/s to prevent urban flooding.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.
