The Distributed Generation of Solar Energy in Brazil Is Drawing Investors’ Attention, and Everything Indicates That More Investments Are Coming

During the pandemic and the severe economic crisis with massive job losses, there have been many bad and disturbing news stories; a good piece of news in this mix is the recent discovery that global wind and solar power generation has doubled in the last five years, according to a new report from EMBER.

As solar energy increases, it is possible for nations around the world to reduce their excessive dependence on fossil fuels and nuclear energy. An Environmental Law expert explains the country’s development in the solar energy industry.

Solar Energy Monitoring in Brazil

The greater presence of renewable energies, especially solar energy in the Brazilian matrix, is something that is already happening and will continue to happen in the coming years.

In 2006, the National Electric System Operator (ONS) began to periodically monitor the installed capacity of wind farms in commercial operation, now distributed across eight states (Bahia, Ceará, Maranhão, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, Rio Grande do Sul, and Santa Catarina). Currently, ONS registers 14,975 MW of installed solar energy, which represents 9.1% of the electrical matrix.

National Energy Capacity Has Been Expanding in Brazil

The expert uses the state of Minas Gerais as an example, stating that there is a project in the works that foresees over 100 new solar distributed generation parks.

Brazil is definitely on the right track. But no other government is guaranteed to do what we need to keep climate change to 1.5 or even 2 degrees. For example, China is still building coal power plants.

The problem is that, although solar energy is cheap enough, it needs a clear political vision to accelerate all the obstacles for rapid implementation – boring things like expedited planning and access to the grid. And a morally strong political vision does not currently exist in many countries today.
