The year 2024 is just beginning and the Brazil ended the month of January on new records registered in the solar energyAccording data of ONS (National Electric System Operator).

The entity's figures show that, in Tuesday last week (30), a source reached the first instant record of the year in the SIN (National Interconnected System).

On this day, the generation reached the milestone of 27.909 MW, at 11:40 am, sufficient amount to meet the 30,4% of demand at that minute across Brazil.

Os indicators already include the production of distributed micro and minigeneration. The previous record, also considering the modality, was reached on November 11, 2023, when 27.435 MW were registered. 

Still in the same week of January, Northeast subsystem registered unprecedented rates of instantaneous solar generation: 9.231 MW, measured at 11:18 am, on the 31st.

The volume corresponded to 66,8% of the submarket's demand at the time. The highest mark until then was 9.035 MW, registered on January 18, 2024.

February

No February 2th, Brazil surpassed the brand of 38 GW of installed capacity in solar energy, considering the GC (centralized generation) and DG (distributed generation) segments. 

Currently, more than 16,8% of the Brazilian electrical matrix comes from solar energy, according to information shared by ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy), and corroborated by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).
