According to projections released by the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) and EPE (Energy Research Company), planning the expansion of the energy transmission system in Brazil until 2035 will require investments of around R$ 120 billion.
The data is included in the Energy Transmission Notebook of the PDE (Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2035), published this Tuesday (23).
The study works with three expansion scenarios: a reference scenario, used as the basis for official planning, and two alternative scenarios, classified as optimistic and pessimistic, considered less likely.
In the central scenario, the projected investment volume aims to guarantee the reliability of the SIN (National Interconnected System) in the face of growth in solar and wind power generation, as well as increased demand associated with new industrial segments.
Among the highlights of the report is the recommendation of new technological solutions to strengthen regional interconnections.
One of the main projects evaluated involves the implementation of a direct current bipole with VSC (Voltage Source Converter) technology, a pioneering application in Brazil.
This alternative will significantly expand the capacity for exchange between regions, increase the operational security of the National Interconnected System (SIN), and enable the flow of large volumes of renewable energy generation.
O notebook It also provides analyses on the evolution of exchange capacity between geoelectric regions, projections of investments related to assets nearing the end of their regulatory life, and a mapping of transmission contracts scheduled to expire in the coming years.
Another point addressed is the impact of these movements on TUSTs (Transmission System Usage Tariffs), a sensitive issue for industry agents and consumers, especially in a context of accelerated expansion of electrical infrastructure.
