The CCEE Reports That Brazilian Solar Power Generation Grew 28% in February 2020

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).

In total, Brazil’s total electricity generation in February decreased by 1.3% compared to the previous year, with 69,259 MWa delivered to the National Interconnected System (SIN). The country’s demand reached 65,302 MWa, or 2% less than the previous year, according to data from CCEE.
