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 rise in interest rates in the U.S., to contain local inflation, is expected to accentuate the ‘flight’ of foreign capital from the Brazilian stock market, in addition to appreciating the dollar against the real, thereby also putting pressure on prices in the Brazilian economy.

Brazil may fall behind, and irreversibly so, in the global technological race involving the implementation of Data Centers and investments in Artificial Intelligence (AI). Much smaller but more agile economies, such as those of Argentina and Paraguay, have taken the lead.

Brazil is generating so much clean energy that the ONS had to implement an unprecedented emergency plan to contain the solar and wind surplus in the grid.

In a historic decision, Aneel regulates the use of batteries in the Brazilian electrical system and lays the groundwork for large-scale energy storage, reducing waste, enhancing energy security, and attracting new billion-dollar projects.

Brazilian researchers develop a catalyst made with abundant metals that increases the efficiency of green hydrogen production and can replace expensive materials, creating a promising alternative to expand the use of clean energy worldwide.
