The year started with good news for the Brazilian electrical energy sector. According to ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), the expectation is that growth for 2024 will be 10,1 GW.
By historical series, which began to be measured in 1997, the advancement would only be lost to 2023, which broke a record in energy production with a increase of 10,3 GW.
According to the SIGA (Power Generation Information System) ANEEL), until now, country account with a capacity in operation of 199,6 GW adding all energy sources.
Within this amount, the participation the renewable energy is approximately 85 % and non-renewables contribute 15%.
solar plants
Still according to SIGA, there are 18.237 solar plants em Operação In all the Brazil with 12,25 GW de installed power.
Em construction, are 172 units with power granted de 7.18 GW in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Rio Grande do Norte, São Paulo and Ceará.
Em construction not started, are 2.837 new units, with granted power of 125,2 GW.
