Natural Gas Thermal Power Projects Rank Third Among Energy Sources, Accounting for Almost 30% of Generation Capacity.

Just as the ANP auction held yesterday in Rio de Janeiro was a success, the Ministry of Mines and Energy expects the same for the A-6 Energy Auction, scheduled to begin generation in 2025, set for next Friday (10/18). Petrobras and Equinor Confirm Investments Focused on Natural Gas Thermal Generation Projects.
The auction will take place next Friday (10/18) and will feature 1,541 registered projects; see below the ranking by energy source and installed capacity.

The 1,541 eligible projects have a total installed capacity of 71,385 megawatts (MW), which corresponds to 42.5% of the currently installed capacity of the entire Brazilian generation park.
The competition for energy generation is led by wind power, followed by solar and natural gas thermal power plants; here are the numbers:

By Types of Projects

1st Place: Wind Generation – 760 Projects
2nd Place: Solar Photovoltaic Generation – 685 Projects
3rd Place: Hydroelectric Generation – 48 Projects
4th Place: Natural Gas Thermal Generation – 26 Projects
5th Place: Biomass Thermal Generation – 20 Projects
6th Place: Coal Thermal Generation – 2 Projects

By Installed Capacity

1st Place: Solar Photovoltaic Generation – 24,753 MW
2nd Place: Wind Generation – 22,550.6 MW
3rd Place: Natural Gas Thermal Generation – 21,580 MW
4th Place: Coal Thermal Generation – 940 MW
5th Place: Biomass Thermal Generation – 829 MW
6th Place: Hydroelectric Generation – 732 MW

By Location (Main Locations)

1st Place: Bahia – 16,750 MW
2nd Place: Rio Grande do Norte – 10,161 MW
3rd Place: Piauí – 7,961 MW
4th Place: Ceará – 6,325 MW

According to data from EPE (Energy Research Company), the total number of registered projects was 1,831 (with a total of 100,968 MW), and the MME approved a total of 84.2% of them, meaning 70.9% of the registered capacity.
