Bahia Just Gained Another Independent Solar Energy Project Approved by Aneel
The independent solar energy project approved by the National Agency of Solar Energy (Aneel) in Guanambi, Bahia, was authorized to start by a solar energy company called Lagedo Alto Energia. The distributed energy generation capacity of the state with the UFV Lagedo Alto III projects now totals over 40MW.

Solar Energy Expands in Brazil Despite the Pandemic
Solar energy continued to expand in Brazil during the COVID-19 pandemic and is expected to contribute to economic recovery after the health crisis. This is the assessment of Bárbara Rubim, vice president of the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar), responsible for distributed generation.
“The growth rate has slowed a bit, but it is still exponential,” she said. “The pandemic had a smaller effect than expected, and installed capacity increased by 30% in the first half of 2020.”
The total potential was 5,918 MW on July 2, up from 4,533 MW at the end of 2019, according to official data from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), the energy regulator in this South American country with 211 million inhabitants. It is a small amount in a country with a total generation capacity of 172,709 MW.
In Brazil, 60.4% of energy is hydropower, 8.7% comes from wind, 8.4% from biomass, 8.3% from natural gas, 5.1% from oil derivatives, and 2.0% from coal. But solar energy is the fastest-growing energy source, in line with global trends.
