COP 26: understand the government’s role in encouraging clean energy
At COP 26, Brazil maintained its commitments to deforestation and climate neutrality. Understand the role of government for sustainable actions.
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.
Climate change: what does the IPCC report say?
In 2019, CO2 concentrations were higher than at any time in at least 2 million years. Understand the impacts of climate change!
Water crisis may favor incentives for solar energy generation
Faced with the challenges of developing the electricity sector, players debate how to modernize and encourage new sources, such as the generation of solar energy.
Mini solar photovoltaic power plants in Altos and Campo Maior will be managed by GNPW Group
The cities of Altos and Campo Maior, located in the north of Piauí, will receive mini solar photovoltaic plants through a public-private partnership (PPP). It is estimated that these two units, one in each city, produce more than 1.3 million kilowatt-hours per month, reducing operating costs with electricity in the state.
Why is investing in renewables better than fossil fuels?
Renewable sources already have a lower cost than fossil fuels. In addition, they are the bet to reduce GHG, to reach the goals by 2050.
Solar: energy can generate R$ 140 billion in investment in the country!
Brazil reached the historic milestone of 9 GW of operational power in large photovoltaic plants and small and medium systems. The data are from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) indicating that the source has brought more than R$ 46 billion in investments and 270,000 new jobs in the country.
Why is biomass still underestimated in Brazil?
The generation of energy from biomass has a current installed capacity of 15,604 MW, representing 9% of the national electrical matrix. With 578 thermoelectric plants, this source is in fourth place, behind hydro, wind and natural gas.
