Survey Shows Impact of R$ 25 Billion/Year Until 2050 on Energy Costs Due to Bill. Renewables Have Shorter Competitiveness Deadline.

The bill (PL) for the regulation of offshore wind energy may be impacted by riders, which are provisions that do not concern this energy matrix. Luiz Barroso, former president of the Energy Research Company (EPE) and CEO of PSR, states that such undue inclusions can raise inflation and harm industry competitiveness, which concerns the sector.

According to a survey by PSR Solutions and Energy Consulting, presented at a meeting of sector entities, the amendments to the bill may have negative consequences for the regulation of offshore wind energy. The impact of these addenda may compromise the efficiency of the sector and hinder the development of this energy matrix.

The Impact of ‘Undue Inclusions’ in the PL on the Energy Matrix

According to the analysis, the measures included in the bill will have a significant impact on the cost of energy for consumers. It is estimated that these undue inclusions will cause an increase of R$ 25 billion annually until 2050, totaling R$ 658 billion over this period.

The Interference of the Legislative and Its Amendments in Energy Planning

The specialist consulted in the study stated that the processing of the bill represents interference by the Legislative in a responsibility shared by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and EPE, which is the implementation of the country’s energy planning.

The Impact of the Amendments in the PL on Thermal Power Plants and Renewable Energies

Among the criticized amendments, the hiring of inflexible natural gas thermal plants and the postponement of the deadline for renewable energy generators to obtain subsidies stand out, which are identified as causing significant direct impact on energy costs. The individual impact of each of these amendments until 2050 is estimated to be considerable. The amendments in question are:

Contracting of inflexible natural gas thermal power plants: R$ 155 billion
Postponement of the deadline for renewables to become operational with subsidies: R$ 113 billion
Specific contracting of small hydropower plants: R$ 140 billion
Postponement of the deadline for MMGD to become operational with subsidies: R$ 101 billion
Maintaining the operation of coal thermal power plants: R$ 92 billion
Construction of a hydrogen plant: R$ 28 billion
Extension of Proinfa contracts: R$ 24 billion
Specific contracting for wind power in the South: R$ 5 billion

The Impact of the Amendments in the PL on Thermal Power Plants and Renewable Energies

While an average building in London or New York takes three years to be completed, in China a 26-story tower went up in five days with about 100 workers, and the global modular construction market already moves US$ 95 billion per year.

Australia installs giant concrete structures on the seabed 800 meters from the shore to create an ocean intake for desalination that will draw in saltwater and produce 30 million liters of drinking water per day.

While cities spend fortunes patching potholes and tons of plastic become waste, the Netherlands transforms over 218,000 recycled cups into a modular bike path that can conceal drainage, cables, and pipes.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

Goodbye traditional washing machine: Panasonic surprises housewives with the NA-G5 featuring four drums, a 13 kg washer and dryer, a 12 kg dryer, independent mini washers, a heat pump, and a 4-in-1 system awarded at the German Design Award.

While communities suffer from water scarcity and the advancing desert, women in Morocco use nets high up in the mountains to trap fog droplets, fill reservoirs, and transport drinking water through more than 10 km of piping.

Volkswagen admits to Reuters that the value of its cars is falling in Brazil due to the aggressive entry of Chinese companies like BYD, but asserts that it will not enter a price war and believes it is well-positioned to hold back the advance.

How to make charcoal in the backyard using a small oven covered with galvanized sheets and sealed with fine soil, in a traditional Filipino technique called pugon that yields up to one and a half bags of charcoal per burn.

You won’t believe how industrial egg production works in Brazil and the level of technology behind millions of units produced every day.

Material practically banned for almost 90 years makes a strong comeback in construction: made of hemp and lime, it insulates 15 times more than concrete, absorbs CO₂ over the centuries, and challenges an industry that helped push it out of the market.

While Brazil is still discussing how to store solar and wind energy, Portugal has set up three dams in the mountains to function as a giga battery of 1.15 GW and store renewable energy on a large scale.
