Wind turbines in Northeast Brazil: symbol of leadership in renewable energy and 30% expansion in capacity by 2029.

The North and Northeast regions are becoming protagonists in the export of renewable energy. See impressive data, investments in infrastructure and the impacts on the sustainable future of Brazil:

Certainly, the North and Northeast regions of Brazil are about to experience a significant change in the electricity sector. Therefore, by 2029, the power transmission capacity from these areas to other parts of the country could grow by 30%. Furthermore, according to the National Electric System Operator (ONS), this expansion reinforces national energy security. Thus, it also consolidates Brazil's role as a global leader in renewable energy.

Why is this increase relevant?

Without a doubt, the Northeast stands out as an energy powerhouse, due to the rapid expansion of renewable sources such as wind power and solar. For example, between 2022 and 2024, the installed capacity of these sources grew from 35,4 GW to 66 GW. Thus, this increase represented a significant growth of 89%. In addition, more than 31% of the installed electrical capacity in Brazil now comes from renewable sources. Thus, the importance of investing in a more robust transmission infrastructure is evident.

The role of infrastructure in energy transformation

Therefore, significant investments are being made in infrastructure to enable this increase in transmission capacity. For example, the 2029 Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE 2029) foresees a 32% expansion in the length of transmission lines. In addition, the capacity of substations is expected to increase by 41%, ensuring greater reliability and security for the electrical system. Finally, it is important to remember that these improvements are essential to better integrate renewable sources.

Benefits for Brazil and the planet

This expansion undoubtedly brings a series of benefits to the country and the environment. For example, it reduces restrictions on the flow of excess energy, in addition to increasing energy security. In addition, the improvement in the system minimizes the risks of blackouts and power failures. Of course, the expansion of renewable sources directly contributes to the decarbonization of the national electricity grid. In this way, Brazil consolidates its role as a model of energy sustainability.

A promising energy future

Therefore, the expected 30% increase in power transmission capacity in the North and Northeast by 2029 reaffirms Brazil’s leadership in renewable energy. In this way, these advances benefit the country while also driving the transition to a more sustainable future. Therefore, it is essential to continue investing in solutions that promote energy integration and efficiency.
