Don’t Think Blackouts Only Happen in Movies, Our Country Needs to Expand Its Efforts in Renewable Energy as Soon as Possible, in the Not-Too-Distant Future Brazil Could Go Dark Due to Overload on the Energy Matrix.

It is worth remembering that in 2019 a blackout cut power to the entire Argentine continent and Uruguay, affecting tens of millions of people in an electrical failure that authorities consider unprecedented in its scope and that could have been avoided with investment in renewable energy.

The cause of the blackout in Argentina remained under investigation when power was largely restored to both countries. Much of Argentina was hit by heavy rain over the weekend, and the Uruguayan state utility, UTE, said that some systems were damaged by recent rains and still need to be repaired.

PDE – Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan to Prevent Blackouts

The main indication to prevent blackouts in Brazil is the PDE 2023, highlighting the fact that Brazil will be a major oil producer while maintaining a clean energy matrix.

The oil from Pre-Salt will make the country a major global producer and exporter in 2023, accounting for two-thirds of domestic production. Another important highlight is the significant share of renewable energy in electricity generation over the next 10 years.

It stands out, in the ten-year horizon, the significant growth of the wind power sector which should account for more than 10% of installed capacity in 2023, reflecting the competitiveness of this source in the ten-year horizon.

We Need to Improve Brazil’s Energy Recovery

For this to become real, Brazil needs to eliminate around 3,000 dumps, as they cause significant environmental damage, and it is necessary to replace these dumps with regional landfills.

Renewable energy generation from solid waste is also a significant increase in energy supply. With investments in the right places, Brazil can not only avoid blackouts in the near future but also become a sustainable country with an energy matrix composed of renewable energy.
