20 of 23 Long-Term Contracts Were Allocated in the Energy Self-Production Model in the Free Market.

Solar and wind energy have increasingly stood out as sources of clean and sustainable energy. According to a study by the consultancy Cela (Clean Energy Latin America), the volume of long-term contracts for solar and wind energy in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) in 2023 was driven by self-production projects.

These self-production projects have attracted significant interest, with 20 out of 23 long-term agreements made in the past year being allocated in the energy self-production model in the ACL. This arrangement allows large energy consumers to contract electricity directly from a plant built to meet their demand, thus ensuring a stable and predictable supply over the long term. Additionally, long-term contracts promote energy security and sustainability, benefiting both end consumers and the environment.

Expansion of the Solar and Wind Energy Market

In the past two years, we have seen a growing bet on the free market in self-production projects, which has spurred the increase in Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) for solar and wind energy throughout 2023. The CEO of CELA, Camila Ramos, emphasizes that there has been significant progress in the business model of leasing plants.

Since the first edition of CELA’s report in 2013, 140 long-term solar and wind PPAs have been mapped in the Free Contracting Environment (ACL), representing an installed capacity of 14.3 gigawatts (GW). The accumulated total of these contracts is equivalent to 4,147 MW, with 2,431 MW from solar energy and another 1,717 MW from wind energy.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

China manufactures 150 buses in just 16 working days and ships them to Argentina at prices up to 30% lower than those produced locally, putting body manufacturers in the neighboring country on high alert due to the speed and cost of Asian production.

Brazil accelerates the production of electric buses and could end 2026 as the leader in Latin America in a race that promises to transform public transportation in large cities.

An 11-year-old boy from Texas was just hoping to be officially adopted, but he got the most exciting surprise of his life when 45 classmates showed up unexpectedly at the courthouse to celebrate with him.

Two cyclones are surrounding Brazil at the same time this week: one brings heavy rain to the South while the other pushes cold air that drops temperatures by up to 6 degrees in mountainous areas of the Southeast.

A 20-year-old young man became paralyzed from the waist down after an accident and received treatment with polylaminin in Santa Catarina, and he is already able to move his feet days later.
