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

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

Secret chamber sealed 4,500 years ago found in the Pyramid of Khufu, and Hawass announces its opening to the world in 2026

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.

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.

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.

China has begun the second phase of energy assistance to Cuba with a 120 MW solar generation plan, and the first result is a photovoltaic park with batteries that regulates voltage, controls frequency, and provides local autonomy to an island suffocated by chronic blackouts.

Germany installed vertical solar panels on a lake in Bavaria, and the result broke conventional logic: instead of producing energy at midday peak, the plant generates more early in the morning and in the evening, exactly when families turn on appliances and factories are in full swing.

Man uses AI to apply for 1,000 jobs while he sleeps

The Earth has become an orbital junkyard: 15,550 tons of space debris surround the planet with dead satellites, abandoned rockets, and fragments traveling at 28,000 km/h.

Unmanned and with the autonomy to cross oceans for up to 30 days, the DriX O-16 is a 15.75-meter naval drone that sails alone for 3,500 nautical miles carrying sensors for warfare, surveillance, and submarine mapping missions.

Solar garden table created by a Swiss company promises to generate energy at home, power everyday devices, and even pay for itself over time using only sunlight.

Google builds the world’s largest iron-air battery in Minnesota with 300 MW and 30 GWh to store energy for 100 consecutive hours.

Small and flexible hydropower plants can be a game-changer for clean energy by generating electricity in previously overlooked rivers, without requiring large dams or aggressively altering the water flow.

Dongfang breaks world record and manufactures 26 MW wind turbine in China with 137-meter blades that spin so slowly they appear stationary on the horizon.

System that promises to store energy in hills, using a fluid denser than water, reaches full power in the UK and can transform former industrial areas into smaller hydroelectric batteries, quick to build and focused on clean energy.
