Energy transition in Brazil: change beyond energy
The energy transition is a subject that has become a trend in many countries. With the advance of global warming and its consequences, there is an urgent need for migration to a low carbon economy.
The Distributed Generation Legal Framework was sanctioned
On 01/07, Bill No. 5,829/2019 was enacted, establishing the Legal Framework for Distributed Generation. The Distributed Generation (DG) was standardized for the first time in Brazil in 2012 by ANEEL. In this model, Brazilian consumers can generate their own electricity from renewable sources or qualified cogeneration. You can even supply the surplus to your local distribution network.
Understand the opportunities in the energy sector with a water crisis
With the water crisis, new opportunities in the energy sector emerged. If before the crisis, the most advantageous energy model was that of hydroelectric power plants, the lack of rain that caused the historic drought and, consequently, the rise in tariffs, meant that other options began to be considered in energy generation.
The records of solar generation
Currently, solar generation represents 2% of the Brazilian electrical matrix. The value could reach 2.6% by December 2021. See the growth.
Installed capacity: distributed generation breaks record in the country
Distributed generation in Brazil continues to grow and reached another installed capacity record, reaching 7 GW of power in September 2021. It is worth mentioning that the 6 GW mark was achieved in June.
How does shared power generation work?
Do you know what shared generation is? Normative Resolution No. 482, created by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), published in 2012, created rules for the segment of distributed generation in Brazil. Then, in 2015, through Normative Resolution 687, the standard received some changes that facilitated consumer adherence. It increased the term for using energy credits and resetting the power of the systems.
The growth of GD in the Biogas and Biomethane sector
The biogas and biomethane sector continues to grow, reducing the gap between the real world and the potential projected by Abiogás.
Investments in Distributed Generation (DG) in Brazil
Distributed Generation in Brazil has grown in the last 10 years. Understand the importance of the solar array for this development and the planned investments.
