According to Aneel’s statistics, residential consumers are the main responsible for this record and Minas Gerais is the state that consumes energy through solar generation

The installed capacity of distributed solar generation (DG) in Brazil exceeded 2.3 GW, according to Aneel’s statistics, the regulator of the energy sector. The overall capacity of DG in the country surpassed 2.5 GW on Thursday night, with solar energy being the most popular source in this segment, counting 200,942 systems connected to the grid.

Minas Gerais is the state with the most DG connections – 42,549, followed by São Paulo with 32,548 and Rio Grande do Sul with 27,874. Residential consumers represent the majority of the total DG solar installations with 145,920 systems. Commercial and rural installations follow behind with 36,086 and 13,040, respectively. On Aneel’s website, these data can be consulted in detail.

Since 2012, more than BRL 11.9 billion (US $ 2.5 billion / EUR 2.2 billion) have been invested in this segment, reported the newspaper Valor Econômico citing data from the Brazilian Photovoltaic Solar Energy Association (ABSOLAR).

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Webb found a cradle of planets 5,550 light-years away where water almost disappears, and the disk around the star XUE 10 has CO₂ in regions where rocky worlds like Earth should be born, revealing a planetary chemistry very different from that which formed our Solar System.

Couple transforms abandoned land in Portugal, moves a 6-ton tiny house, hides a container on the slope, and builds a 50 m² deck in two days while advancing on the main house surrounded by glass and nature.

Giant trucks with no one in the cabin have already moved more than 8.6 billion tons of rock and ore around the world, equivalent to more than a thousand Great Pyramids, all without a single recorded injury.

To go to school or the doctor, the residents of Point Roberts, an American territory surrounded by Canada, need to cross the border daily.

Baly, a manufacturer from Santa Catarina that surpassed Red Bull and Monster to take the lead in the Brazilian energy drink market in December, is moving forward with the new factory in Araranguá, expected to create over a thousand jobs and begin operations in the second half of 2026.
