Paleontologists spent 5 years excavating the Sahara and found the first new Spinosaurus in over 100 years — the 8-meter predator had a 50-centimeter crest on its skull similar to Elvis’s pompadour and hunted giant fish in rivers that no longer exist.

Focus on Project Viability with Renewable Energy
The collaboration aims to provide comprehensive services for technical feasibility analysis, economic and regulatory for projects focused on renewable sources, integrating battery storage systems. These services are designed for projects connected to the national interconnected system (SIN) and cover both ‘behind the meter’ and ‘front of the meter’ applications. The main target audience for this collaboration includes project developers, investors, and equipment suppliers looking to enable and innovate business models within the renewable energy sector.
Expectations in the Renewable Energy Sector in Brazil
Mariana Galhardo, partner at G2A, expressed her enthusiasm about the prospects of new projects in Brazil: ‘Projects with BESS (Battery Energy Storage Systems) open a wide range of possible applications and bring innovative solutions for SEB (Brazilian Electric Sector). These systems are essential to mitigate issues like curtailment and provide essential ancillary services for grid stability. They also allow for price arbitrage in hourly price displacement scenarios, optimizing economic and operational efficiency.’
Impacts on Distributed and Centralized Generation
In Brazil, these projects are highly promising for both optimizing distributed generation and centralized generation, providing support to renewable sources in capacity reserve auctions. The integration of battery storage systems can provide greater flexibility to the SIN and reduce operational costs. Eduardo Tobias, managing partner at Watt Capital, emphasized: ‘The economic feasibility analysis of projects is crucial and must be conducted with diligence to address all the particularities and possibilities of these projects, whose business model, regulation, and funding sources are still maturing.’
Additional Challenges and Tax Reforms
He also mentioned the additional challenge of evaluating these projects in the context of the tax reform approved by Constitutional Amendment 132, in December 2023, which provides for the replacement of PIS/PASEP and COFINS by CBS starting in 2027. This new regulatory environment requires an even more detailed and strategic analysis to ensure the economic viability of renewable energy projects, especially in a market that is constantly evolving.
