Largest Renewable Energy Congress in Latin America, CBGD, Brought Together Experts from Various Fields in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, as Well as Created an Environment Favorable for Networking
The production of renewable energy, as well as projects created in the area, were significantly promoted last week. The 8th edition of the Brazilian Distributed Generation Congress (CBGD), which took place in Belo Horizonte, Minas Gerais, demonstrated Brazil’s potential for this type of generation, as well as brought together various market players, moving more than R$500 million in business.
The data, in turn, was released by the FRG Mídias & Eventos Group, the organizing company of the congress. On the occasion, Tiago Fraga, CEO of the company, pointed out that the 8th edition was built with many novelties, especially to encompass more business involving renewable sources, ranging from distributed generation, which is the energy generated by the consumer themselves to energy storage, through new technologies, the production of renewable hydrogen, and also one of the new forms of commercialization, such as the free energy market.
Fraga reinforces that the 8th edition only demonstrates the potential that the renewable energy market has in Latin America, especially in Brazil.

“The event was established back in 2016, when we were just starting in the sector, and since then, this beautiful trajectory has accumulated over 20 events that we have held in the last seven years, all of them focused on renewable energy with a very strong emphasis on solar photovoltaic energy. So, there is truly a slight sense of duty fulfilled, and we also know of our commitment to deliver for the sector that has certainly changed many lives,” emphasizes Fraga.
The specialist also comments that the sector will continue to yield results, as well as has much room to grow in the coming year. The results obtained during the CBGD, in turn, show themselves as one of the drivers of this growth.
“If we at the FRG Mídias & Eventos Group are focused on renewable energies and are managing to reap good results, I am sure that it is not different for you, and everyone has their own story and trajectory. We believe very much that we will continue to yield results. We went through a somewhat complicated year due to legal changes, due to a series of factors that ended up making more business happen and jobs be created, and that is why sharing knowledge and bringing relevant information will help you prosper even more in your businesses,” explains Fraga.
Finally, Fraga highlights that the year 2024 will be even more promising for the renewable sector, and the CBGD came precisely to bring this knowledge and updates that entrepreneurs need.
