In The Last Year, Distributed Solar Power Generation Added 2.5 GW Of Installed Capacity In The Country, Being The Fastest-Growing Source During The Period

The Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) reported that self-generated solar power reached the mark of 6 gigawatts of capacity in Brazil. The capacity is equivalent to 40% of the power of the Itaipu plant, the largest hydroelectric plant in Brazil. According to the organization, the sector brings enormous benefits to the population and has already generated over R$ 30.6 billion in investments and 180,000 jobs accumulated in Brazil since 2012.

The numbers encourage the industry to seek greater involvement in defining energy policy and incentives for growth. On Tuesday, the 29th, Absolar submitted a series of proposals to the Ministry of Mines and Energy to alleviate the current water crisis, which may require energy rationing, using solar power. On Tuesday, the National Electric Energy Agency adjusted the red flag tariff by 52%.

Rodrigo Sauaia, CEO of Absolar, says that “Both large plants and small systems on roofs contribute to relieving the pressure on hydroelectric reservoirs and reducing the activation of fossil thermal power plants, which are more expensive and polluting. This helps to reduce the demand for electricity in the country, especially during peak consumption hours of the system, between 11 am and 6 pm.”

Brazil Still Remains Behind When Compared To Other Countries

Although it has advanced in recent years, Brazil – possessing one of the best solar resources on the planet – remains behind in the use of solar power generation. Of the more than 87 million electricity consumers in the country, fewer than 0.7% use the sun to produce clean, renewable, and competitive electricity.

For the organization, the approval by the National Congress of a legal framework for self-generated renewable energy, as proposed in Bill (PL) No. 5,829/2019, will strengthen the diversification of the Brazilian electric matrix and the security of electrical supply during times of water crisis and red flag in electricity bills, stemming from the massive use of fossil thermal power plants.
