ASA has launched its 531-megawatt (MW) Mendubim solar plant in Brazil, increasing its equity power production in the country by 30 percent. The plant is

Brazil has exceeded 38 GW of installed solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, with solar power now accounting for 16.8% of the country's total power mix. The market has installed 26.3 GW across distributed generation (DG) systems, making solar the top choice for self-consumption systems in Brazil. Large-scale solar power plants are responsible for the remaining 11.7 GW of installed capacity.Since 2012, the rollout of solar energy in Brazil has attracted investments of BRL 184.3 billion (USD 37.1bn/EUR 34.5bn), creating around 1.1 million local jobs and offsetting 46.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions during electricity generation. This milestone marks a significant achievement for Brazil's solar energy sector. How has Brazil's solar industry achieved 38 GW of installed capacity? Brazil's solar industry has benefited from supportive government policies and incentives, such as tax breaks, net metering, and auctions for large-scale solar projects. The decreasing cost of solar technology and equipment has made solar energy more affordable and attractive for consumers and investors in Brazil. The country's abundant sunlight and vast land availability have made it an ideal location for solar power generation, especially in regions with high solar irradiation levels. The growing awareness of climate change and the need to transition to clean and renewable energy sources has also driven the expansion of the solar industry in Brazil. Collaboration between government, industry stakeholders, and international partners has helped to promote the development and growth of the solar energy sector in Brazil.

Brazil added 743.95 MW of wind and solar power capacity in June, with new solar farms contributing 451.15 MW and wind parks adding 292.8 MW. In total, the country added 889.51 MW of new capacity in June, including contributions from thermal plants. Over the first six months of the year, Brazil's electricity system expanded by 5,670.32 MW across various technologies. As of July, Brazil had a total installed power generation capacity of 203,895.63 MW, with hydro, wind, and biomass being the largest renewable sources in the electricity mix.Aneel projects that Brazil's electricity generation will increase by 10.1 GW by 2024, reflecting the country's ongoing efforts to expand its renewable energy capacity and diversify its energy sources. How much renewable energy capacity did Brazil add in June 2021?

Brazil has experienced rapid solar growth since 2018, when the country only had 1.3 GW of installed solar capacity. This is due to the April 2018 auction where solar developers secured contracts for the delivery of 9.3 GW of PV energy at a record-low price of $24.70/MWh. Currently, Aneel is preparing the first renewable energy auction with only solar projects. What Enabled Brazil's Solar Growth? Abolishment of the solar tax: In August 2018, Brazil abolished the tax on solar energy production, making the sector more attractive to investors. Increasing interest from the private sector: Private energy companies have increasingly shown interest in solar projects, due to the low cost of solar energy and its competitive advantage. Financial incentives: The government has provided various financial incentives for solar energy production, such as feed-in tariffs and public auctions. Availability of financing: The government has implemented several financing programs to facilitate the development of solar projects. High investment capacity: Brazil has the potential to attract a large amount of capital for renewable energy projects, due to the country’s large economy and its access to international financing. Technological advances: The development of new technologies, such as solar tracking systems, has enabled the cost of solar energy production to decline. Supportive policy framework: The Brazilian government has adopted a supportive policy framework for the development of solar energy projects.

Brazilian renewable energy company J6 Energia Renovavel has recently inaugurated four distributed generation (DG) solar power plants with a total capacity of 5 MW in Trindade municipality, Goias state. Named LIMIRIM, these solar systems are capable of generating enough clean electricity to meet the demand of 500 households, according to the local government.In addition to the solar power plants, J6 Energia plans to make further investments in Trindade municipality, including the implementation of a battery production factory. The company's president, Fernanda Forbeck de Castro Sawaia, highlighted that J6 has already invested approximately BRL 7.7 billion (USD 1.5bn/EUR 1.4bn) in renewable energy projects in Brazil, including solar complexes in five different states. What are J6 Energia's future plans for renewable energy in Brazil? J6 Energia plans to continue expanding its presence in the renewable energy sector in Brazil by investing in more solar power plants in different regions of the country. The company is also looking to diversify its portfolio by exploring opportunities in wind energy and other forms of renewable energy sources. J6 Energia aims to contribute to Brazil's goal of increasing the share of renewable energy in its energy mix, in line with the country's commitment to reducing greenhouse gas emissions. The implementation of a battery production factory in Trindade municipality is part of J6 Energia's strategy to enhance energy storage capabilities and support the integration of renewable energy into the grid. Fernanda Forbeck de Castro Sawaia emphasized the company's commitment to sustainability and innovation, stating that J6 Energia will continue to lead the way in the transition to a cleaner and more sustainable energy future in Brazil.
