Who regulates the energy market in the country? Get to know the energy sector regulators in Brazil and understand the role of each one of them.
What are the main solar energy technologies? The benefits of using alternative energy sources are already widespread. However, one of the major obstacles for this model to grow even more is the cost of systems and limited technological availability.
Photovoltaic solar energy in Brazil has prospects of continuing to grow in 2021. In relation to 2019, the source increased its installed capacity by 47.4%, reaching 3,215 MW in 2020, according to ANEEL.
Project of Law No. 14344 was enacted in April 2021 and is the legal framework of the new Gas Law. The law aims to increase competition in the natural gas market, attract new investors and, consequently, reduce production and production costs. the final price for the consumer.
Green hydrogen is one of the alternatives to reduce emissions and take care of our planet. Understand the prospects of this market.
There is a huge technological revolution going on. Part of this change is due to the pandemic, which has accelerated the digital transformation, but emerging technologies have been transforming society for a long time. Emerging technologies are those that have a huge potential to create or transform the environment, market and society, but that have […]
The relationship between thermoelectric and renewables is polarized. After all, thermal plants use fossil fuels to generate energy and most renewable sources are sustainable models.
The modernization of the Brazilian electric sector is necessary to enable the expansion of the market, improve the allocation of resources, form prices and bring sustainability to energy production. Therefore, in April 2019, an Ordinance of the Ministry of Mines and Energy instituted a Working Group to study and propose the necessary changes. The group's objective was to create proposals based on the pillars of governance, transparency and legal-regulatory.
Imagining a reality in which you don't have to pay a electricity or water bill seems unrealistic or futuristic, doesn't it? But know that this is the proposal of the Net Zero economy and that in some cases this is already possible.
The national electric matrix is formed by 82.9% of clean energy, such as hydroelectric, biomass and solar energy, while the global average is 26.7%.
According to the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Brazil currently has 83% of its matrix originated from clean energy. The share is led by hydroelectric (63.8%), followed by wind (9.3%), biomass and biogas (8.9%) and solar (1.4%). Unlike the global average, Brazil is three times more sustainable than other countries.
