The Brazilian government has just defined an important part of the country’s energy future. An auction focused on small and medium hydroelectric plants resulted in the negotiation of 815 megawatts (MW) of capacity. The operation will unlock R$ 5.5 billion in new investments, according to official data from the Electricity Trading Chamber (CCEE).
