In 2020, wind energy should maintain 2 to 3 GW. But in 2021, renewable energy auctions are expected to resume and reach 5GW
The expansion of the renewable energy market, more precisely in the wind sector this year can only be attributed to the ACL. This year's energy auction is only existing A-1 energy. Therefore, the wind source must have a contracted installed capacity of 2 to 3 GW by the end of the year, maintaining the volume reported by the department in the last two years. For 2021, the expectation is for acceleration due to the resumption of new energy auctions and the normal contracting of the ACL, which could reach 5 GW.

According to Élbia Gannoum, executive president of the Brazilian Wind Energy Association ABEEólica, “There will probably be no auction. The statement from the distributors was not encouraging for this year.”
She also recalled that in 2021, “if we have confirmation of economic growth of around 2,5%, we may have an auction and we expect something between 1 and 2 GW of contracting in addition to the 2 to 3 GW of the ACL”.
The executive added that the expansion of resources in the free market was resolved and that the speech by economist Joaquim Levy in the first panel of the event made her excited about the future.
Banco Safra's Director of Economic Strategy commented that people are interested in the renewable energy financial market, and it is considered a safer asset than fossil energy, that market rates are even lower than those of the BNDES depending on the term.
Elbia predicts that, firstly, there will be competition between onshore and offshore wind energy generation methods, and the current level of demand in the country is low. But, in the medium and long term, this vision and the way to release this energy must balance the question of the two ways to generate energy through the winds.
