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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

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.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

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.

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.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

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.

After nearly three decades and more than 1 million cars produced, Toyota will close the historic Indaiatuba plant on June 30 and concentrate Corolla production in Sorocaba, as part of an R$ 11 billion plan that heavily invests in flex hybrids and even an unprecedented pickup.

The number of Brazilian meatpacking plants with suspended meat sales to China rises to five, after the Chinese blocked the JBS unit in Vilhena due to the presence of hormones in the shipments, adding extra pressure on the sector on the eve of the 2026 export quota being exhausted.

How much does it cost to live with dignity in Brazil? A study found that in all 79 regions analyzed, the necessary salary was above the minimum of R$ 1,621. In São Paulo, a family of four needs R$ 6,155 per month.

Brazil, Norway, and the Netherlands aim to create the first green maritime corridor in the Atlantic, after routes emitted 4.7 million tons of CO₂e, and seek to transform ports, fuels, and trade between South America and Europe into a new global logistics race.

Russia wants to build new nuclear plants in Brazil and is negotiating an agreement with the Lula government to expand Rosatom’s presence in atomic energy projects, small reactors, and peaceful nuclear technology.
