Aneel Held A Series Of Auctions That Sold 51 New Renewable Energy Projects For The Brazilian Market

This Thursday, the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) held the New Energy Auctions A-3/2021 and A-4/2021, the first of this model since the beginning of the pandemic. A total of 51 renewable energy projects were contracted for 4 billion reais. The leader in this sector, Ceará, was left out of the 984.7 MW of power contracted in the auctions. Despite the lack of projects, some experts say that the state remains in a prominent position.

Executive Secretary Of Energy Speaks Out

According To Adão Linhares, Executive Secretary Of Energy At The Infrastructure Secretariat Of Ceará (Seinfra), There Was Already A Portfolio With Over 50 GW Of Energy Ready To Go To Auction. Due To The Low Contracting Capacity Of The Distributors, The Winning Projects Were Those That Proposed Only The Expansion Of Existing Plants.

According To Linhares, Due To The Proximity Of Already Having Connections, It Is Cheaper Than Making A New Project. Thus, Those Who Made Use Of Pre-Existing Projects And With Closer Expansions Won. Because Of This, The Absence Of Renewable Energy Projects For Ceará Demonstrates That The Proposals Submitted Were For New Plants With A Larger Energy Generation Capacity.

“Excess” Energy

The Executive Emphasizes That The Power Concentrated In Each Aneel Auction Was Low Due To Overcontracting Of The Distributors, That Is, There Is More Energy Contracted Than Demand In The Sector.

Thus, The Projects From Ceará Will Shine Again When The Distributors Make More Contracts. According To The Secretary, Despite The Country Being In A Crisis, The Concessions Are Overcontracted And There Is An Imbalance Between The Renewable Energy That Is Being Generated And The Contracts That Were Made. On Paper, The Contracts Provide For More Energy Than Necessary; However, In Practice, This Energy Was Not Generated.

The Projects From Each Aneel Renewable Energy Auction Will Have Contracts Lasting 20 To 30 Years And Should Begin Supplying Energy In January 2024 Or January 2025.

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.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

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.

The giant 14-ton military drone has commercial airplane wings, flies for over 32 consecutive hours, and can monitor areas the size of entire continents during intelligence missions for the United States, making the Global Hawk one of the most feared machines in aerial surveillance.

Rocket Lab signs $190 million contract to provide hypersonic suborbital launches for U.S. defense testing.

Yellowstone supervolcano has an unexpected energy source, new study shows. Discovery reveals that oceanic plate feeds the magmatic system.

Douglas, the former waiter, son of a housekeeper and a bricklayer who studied with a Prouni scholarship, takes office as a diplomat at 31 years old, fulfilling his dream of representing Brazil after one of the most incredible journeys to the Itamaraty.

It looks like Holland, but it’s the interior of São Paulo: the Brazilian city of 15,000 residents that produces about 40% of the country’s flowers and accounts for up to 80% of the sector’s exports.

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.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
