Price ceilings set as Brazilian PV sector readies for debut in new-generation auction
Brazil has unveiled the tariff ceilings solar players will face as they compete for the first time in the so-called new generation tender, opening up a new avenue of government support. PV bids for 20-year supply deals at the A-6 auction of 18 October will start at BRL209/MWh (around US$52/MWh), energy regulator ANEEL revealed in a statement this week. Solar’s ceiling tariff is more competitive than that faced by hydro (BRL285/MWh) and thermal (BRL292/MWh) bidders for A-6 contracts, but slightly higher than wind’s BRL189/MWh. PV players have displayed significant appetite for a tender they were barred from until this year, tabling in June 29.7GW of all 100GW-plus bids recorded across all energy sources. Those reaping A-6 contracts will have six years to ensure projects are deployed and pumping energy into the grid, with the supply deals set to cover the 2025-2044 period. Solar’s first go at A-6 auctions follows its record-low average tariffs of BRL67.48/MWh (around US$17.5/MWh) at the renewable-only A-4 tender, lauded as a global milestone. Local PV operators have attributed the A-6 inclusion to a policy shift brought about by the rise to power of controversial president Jair Bolsonaro, who has personally steered major solar schemes. Speaking to PV Tech for a recent feature, Rodrigo Sauaia, CEO of Brazilian PV body ABSOLAR, said: “There may be scepticism with climate policy but [Bolsonaro’s] is a liberal government interested in efficiency and competitiveness.” “They’ve come to office with an open mind, to hear what is actually going on and act based on technical knowledge, not political influence,” Sauaia argued, adding that the government opted to include solar in the A-6 auctions because the move would slash tariffs for end consumers. Having doubled installed capacity to 2GW-plus last year, Brazilian PV is poised for further growth as major utility-scale schemes – including Enel's 608MW São Gonçalo solar complex – progress through various development stages.

Celesc Launches 1 MW Solar Park in Santa Catarina
Brazilian utility Celesc has commenced commercial operations of a 1-MW distributed generation solar park in Santa Catarina. This development marks a significant step in expanding renewable energy infrastructure in the region.The solar park is part of Celesc's broader strategy to enhance sustainable energy solutions and reduce carbon emissions. The project aligns with Brazil's national goals for increasing renewable energy capacity and supports local energy needs. How Does Celesc's New Solar Park Contribute to Brazil's Renewable Energy Goals? Supports National Renewable Energy Targets: The solar park contributes to Brazil's goal of achieving 45% renewable energy in its total energy mix by 2030, as outlined in the country's Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) under the Paris Agreement. Reduces Carbon Emissions: By generating clean energy, the solar park helps decrease reliance on fossil fuels, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions and supporting Brazil's commitment to reducing carbon emissions by 37% by 2025 and 43% by 2030 compared to 2005 levels. Enhances Energy Security: The addition of a 1-MW solar park increases the diversity of Brazil's energy sources, enhancing energy security and reducing vulnerability to energy supply disruptions. Promotes Technological Innovation: The project encourages the adoption of advanced solar technologies and can stimulate further research and development in renewable energy technologies within Brazil. Boosts Local Economy: The construction and operation of the solar park create jobs and stimulate economic growth in the Santa Catarina region, contributing to local development. Encourages Decentralized Energy Production: As a distributed generation project, the solar park supports the decentralization of energy production, which can lead to more resilient and efficient energy systems. Inspires Further Investments: Successful implementation of this project can attract additional investments in renewable energy, encouraging both domestic and international stakeholders to invest in Brazil's renewable energy sector. Aligns with Regional Development Plans: The solar park aligns with regional development plans that prioritize sustainable growth and environmental conservation, supporting broader socio-economic goals.
