The Installed Capacity in the Country Increased by 3,696 MW. Thermal Power Plants Lead, Followed by Wind and Solar Energy, Respectively

This October, the country’s installed capacity increased by 3,696 megawatts. According to updated data from the State Energy Administration on Friday, an increase of 234.63 megawatts was shared among 11 power plants. According to data, in September there were 9 projects totaling 160.14 MW. Thermal power plants lead, followed by wind and solar energy sources, respectively.

In October, the largest contribution came from wind energy with three parks and 101.43 MW; the second was solar photovoltaic with two plants totaling 95.68 MW. Year-to-date, thermal power was responsible for the largest amount, with installed capacity exceeding 2 GW. The majority was due to the launch of UTE Porto do Sergipe (SE, 1,543 MW), which started operations in March.

Wind energy was the second fastest-growing source in 2020, with 914 megawatts of energy spread over 29 parks. Solar energy is second with 628 MW across 16 projects. Hydropower sources are represented only by 140.16 MW from CHP and 1 MW from CGH.

Based on these figures, the regulatory agency reported that by the last quarter of 2020, an additional 1,066 MW need to be authorized, which will take a year to aggregate 4.7 GW of new plants. This will be the lowest annual production since 2012, when the country’s new plant added nearly 4 gigawatts. The results until 2020 take into account the historical series from Aneel (data since 1997), considering the country’s installed capacity of 110.3 GW.

So far, the expectation is that 30.2 GW will come into operation in the coming years. It is expected to increase by 6.7 GW in 2021 and rise to nearly 13 GW in 2022. In 2026 and 2028, the capacity will be below 200 MW. There are still 3.3 GW (not anticipated), and the Angra 3 plant in Rio de Janeiro (1,350 MW) is among them.
