With Favorable Expansion Plan, Wind and Solar Power Generation Will Advance About 28% By 2027, Maintaining the Same Level of Expansion Without Needing More Hydroelectric Plants

As the second largest producer of hydropower after China, Brazil now aims to maintain the same level of wind and solar power generation while somewhat sidelining projects to build hydroelectric plants, which, although renewable, are highly intrusive and cause many environmental impacts.

Currently, most of Brazil’s hydroelectric plants are in the Amazon River basin. For the year 2020, Brazil has developed a 10-year energy expansion plan. The company anticipates that its non-hydroelectric renewable demand will grow by 3% annually. It is expected to reach 28% of the domestic energy mix by 2027.

This plan, which will focus on optimizing solar energy, is called the Decadal Energy Expansion Plan (PDEE) 2027. Its main goal is to increase Brazil’s solar photovoltaic capacity. The mentioned plan will cause installed solar PVs to increase their capacities to reach 8.6 gigawatts (GW) by 2027. Currently, the country supports the development of utility-scale PVs through energy auctions for new and existing projects. These auctions are supervised and carried out by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel).

Will Aneel Tax Solar Energy for Consumers?

In Brazil, solar energy generated residentially can be used in 2 distinct ways: Household generation for personal use or returning it to the utility, generating credits and reducing the bill amount, which often even zeros out the account.

Aneel’s justification for charging for solar energy generation is because consumers use the network infrastructure to return excess energy and have the right to credits. The public consultation ended on December 31, raising concerns among companies and especially citizens about the feasibility of implementing the system.

It is important to note that this tax project refers to energy returned to the utility; if you intend to generate photovoltaic energy for your own consumption, there is no type of tax.

The Chamber of Deputies Will Vote on a Bill to Block This Taxation

After the significant negative backlash, President Jair Messias Bolsonaro said early this Monday (06):

“I just spoke with Rodrigo Maia and Davi Alcolumbre about the taxation of solar energy proposed by ANEEL. The President of the Chamber will put a Bill to vote, urgently, PROHIBITING THE TAXATION of energy generated by solar radiation. The President of the Senate will do the same.”

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Science reveals that the error in the expansion of the cosmos is not a measurement flaw, but rather a sign that the universe may be hiding new physics capable of changing everything we know.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
