Brazil has actually gone beyond the 5 GW mark for mounted solar power, according to the current data from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR). The organization just recently carried out a research study suggesting that the Brazilian PV field has actually drawn in greater than BRL 26.8 billion ($4.76 billion) in brand-new personal financial investments, while creating regarding 130,000 tasks, with around 15,000 business running in the nation. In the massive PV sector, Brazil has 2.68 GW of set up capability, which amounts to around 1.5% of the nation's power mix. The overall financial investment prepared via 2025 in connection with projects that have actually currently been gotten in power public auctions has actually gone beyond BRL 25.8 billion. In 2019, solar was one of the most affordable power resource amongst all renewables included in 2014's A-4 as well as A-6 public auctions, with typical costs listed below $21.00/ MWh. In general, the Latin American nation currently has 92 functional utility-scale solar plants throughout 9 states, consisting of Piaui, Ceara, Bahia, Pernambuco, Rio Grande do Norte, Paraíba, Minas Gerais, Sao Paulo, as well as Tocantins. The complete financial investment in these projects had to do with BRL 14,000 million. In the distributed-generation PV section-- that includes all solar systems approximately 5 MW in dimension under Brazil's net-metering system-- overall mounted capability stands at 2.42 GW. That stands for BRL 12.8 billion in financial investments because 2012. Ronaldo Koloszuk, the head of state of ABSOLAR's board of supervisors, stated that solar power will certainly play a progressively tactical duty in attaining the country's financial advancement objectives. It will certainly be specifically crucial to assisting the economic climate to recoup from the after-effects of the Covid-19 pandemic, "given that it is the eco-friendly resource that creates one of the most tasks worldwide," he claimed. Rodrigo Sauaia, the CEO of ABSOLAR, claimed that throughout the 2015 and also 2016 dilemmas, Brazil's gdp was minus 3.5% annually. Yet the solar field expanded greater than 300% over that duration, and also aided the economic climate to recuperate. "Now, after one of the most severe stage of the present pandemic, solar power will certainly once more drive Brazil's healing, becoming part of the option, both for our culture and also for the atmosphere," he wrapped up.

Brazil’s Superintendency for the Development of the Northeast (Sudene) has approved a BRL-100-million (USD 20.4m/EUR 18.6m) loan to Jaiba CE Energias Renovaveis for the construction of a 40-MW solar power plant in the north region of Minas Gerais state. The loan comes from Sudene's Northeast Development Fund (FDNE) and is part of the 516-MW Sol de Jaiba Solar Complex, owned by local energy company Auren Energia SA. The total investment for the solar complex will amount to BRL 166.6 million and the plant will be operational in the first quarter of 2024. When it is running, it should generate enough electricity to meet the demand of more than 500,000 households. What Is the Cost of Building a 40-MW Solar Plant in Brazil? The 40-MW solar power plant is expected to generate over 73.7 GWh per year. The total cost of building the solar plant is estimated to be BRL 166.6 million (USD 33.3 million/EUR 30.2 million). The loan from Sudene was approved to help finance the construction of the plant. The loan agreement stipulates that the plant must be operative by the first quarter of 2024. The project is part of the 516-MW Sol de Jaiba solar complex, owned by local energy company Auren Energia SA. The Brazilian government has been encouraging the development of renewable energy projects in the country, with a goal of achieving 30% clean energy share in the total energy mix by 2030. Other incentives offered by the government include tax breaks, lower financing rates, and support for research and development. The Brazilian energy sector regulator, ANEEL, has also proposed a series of incentives to encourage the development of renewable energy projects in the country.
