ANEEL Highlights Brasília as a Hub for Solar Energy, While the Midwest Excels in Solar Radiation Leadership.

São Paulo, October 2023 – The Midwest of Brazil presents itself as a fertile territory for the future of solar energy. The region not only benefits from impressive solar radiation levels, but also has vast areas suitable for the rollout of solar plants and photovoltaic systems. The Brazilian Solar Energy Atlas reports that the average annual radiation in the Midwest ranges from 5.2 to 6.5 kWh/m², surpassing the Brazilian average of 5.4 kWh/m². This scenario has led to a 60% growth in photovoltaic installations from 2021 to 2022.

Dominating the National Solar Energy Landscape

In terms of distributed generation, the Midwest ranks fourth nationally, generating a robust mark of 3.6 GW, which corresponds to 15% of Brazil’s total capacity. Mato Grosso, with its impressive 1.3 GW, leads within the region. Following closely are Goiás (1 GW), Mato Grosso do Sul (887 MW), and the Federal District, the latter boasting 289 MW, making it the second largest solar producer among Brazilian municipalities. Notably, the largest portion of installed systems is aimed at residential and commercial consumption.

Túlio Fonseca, CEO of Energy Brasil – renowned in the energy efficiency sector – views the regional growth as a result of a harmony of factors: favorable climate, geography, a thriving economy, and aligned policies. “We see an even brighter future for solar energy in the Midwest. It is a renewable, clean, and advantageous source, both for consumers’ wallets and for the country’s economy,” he emphasizes.

Government Incentives and Alliance with Agribusiness

2023 was a milestone for the Brazilian solar sector. The Federal Government launched the “More Solar Energy Program”, which proposes cuts in taxes such as IPI and Import Tax for equipment and components aimed at solar energy. Additionally, the program guarantees funding with more favorable rates and extended terms for generation initiatives.

Tarcísio Fonseca, Operations Director at Energy Brasil, reinforces the symbiosis between solar energy and the giant agribusiness sector in Brazil. “Agribusiness, which already has great relevance in the national GDP, can further enhance its results by achieving autonomy in energy generation. Solar energy is an economic, clean, and sustainable response that drives the country’s progress.”

This vision is corroborated by the CEO of Energy Brasil: “Rural producers can, with solar energy, reduce expenses, increase productivity, and still contribute to the environment. Our commitment is to offer tailored solutions, ensuring project effectiveness and return on investment.”

About Energy Brasil:

Founded in 2019, Energy Brasil stands out as a Brazilian icon in the solar energy universe. Focusing on the development, construction, operation, and management of green projects, the company has already registered over 160 MWp in generated energy and a reduction of more than 90,000 tons in CO2 emissions. With over 10,000 projects completed, Energy Brasil has diversified its offerings in the market, establishing itself as a comprehensive ecosystem in energy solutions for both B2C and B2B segments.

Solar Energy Rises in the Midwest: A Beacon for Investors

ANEEL Highlights Brasília as a Hub for Solar Energy, While the Midwest Excels in Solar Radiation Leadership.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

Beach bans umbrellas for people between 10 and 65 years old, charges a fee of R$ 59 for access, and adopts measure after an incident that required evacuation of bathers amid chaos, in Italy.

A fisherman from the interior of Pará didn’t have money to buy a jet ski, so he researched everything on the internet and built one from scratch using wood, a 38-horsepower engine, and an adapted bicycle handlebar.

The part that can destroy your engine doesn’t warn when it’s going to break, ages even when idle, and has a different lifespan for each car.

“I’m sorry we came to the beach so little”: German Shepherd fulfills all his dreams on his last day of life after facing tumors, kidney failure, and resisting euthanasia for more than 3 years.

Women who had difficulty finding employment find a 9-month program with salary, classes, and professional training at a bean factory in Denver.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

Solar and wind energy surpass natural gas for the first time in the world and accelerate energy revolution

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
