A solar energy and wind power are in full expansion, and are gaining more and more space in the production of Brazilian electrical energy. Like the rest of the world, Brazil is racing against time in search of energy transition, which will provide reduction in carbon emissions, through greater participation of clean and renewable sources.
A most countries of the world has the basis of its energy matrix em fossil energies, such as natural gas, oil, nuclear energy and mineral coal. O Brazil, on the contrary, has 84,35% of its matrix based on renewable sourcesAccording to ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).
According to data from the Agency, currently, the Country has more than 200 GW of centralized power, of the 84,35% that are from renewable sources, the share of each source is: hydro 54,78%, wind 14,84%, biomass 8,34% and solar 6,38%. Non-renewable sources contribute 15,65%, and are made up of: natural gas 8,95%, oil and others 3,99%, mineral coal 1,73% and nuclear energy 0,99%.
To optimize all this potential clean energy, the country needs to invest in infrastructure electrical power network. The points that need improvement are always highlighted by annual studies with a medium-term projection, carried out by the ONS (National Electric System Operator). In the Executive Summary carried out last year, experts pointed out that the transmission network and storage are key points for improving the system.
Keeping an eye on this factor, the Brazil has accomplished auctions to optimize the infrastructure of the Basic Network, which is improved through projects aimed at flow and transmission power. Adding the years 2023 and 2024, investments in the transmission network exceed 60 billion, this is because it adds auctions nº01/2023, held in June 2023, and auction nº02/2023, held in December of the same year. The other was nº01/2024, carried out in March.
According to Dayron Urrego, executive director of Projects at ISA CTEEP, Brazil, like the world, is promoting energy transition. Therefore, the country needs investments in the sector.
“In addition to this investment, there is a need for reinforcements and improvements to the existing system to guarantee transmission security”. The director also adds that the scenario moves the entire chain involved in the topic, the supplier market, contractors, and, consequently, the economy.
