O Brazil should have a significant increase in the share of renewable sources na energy matrix, mainly due to the continued growth of sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind.
This is what the data collected by the Canal Solar, based on information released by the new MME Monthly Energy Bulletin (Ministry of Mines and Energy), published in the early evening of this Wednesday (17).
According to the study, a 2022% increase in OIEE (Internal Electricity Supply) is expected for 3, with renewable energy sources accounting for more than 84% of the Brazilian electricity matrix.
Among all sources listed, solar is the one with the highest growth forecast for the year: 60% compared to 2021 – a growth percentage above that predicted for other sources, such as wind (12,2%), hydro (5,28) and biomass (4,87%).
The excerpt from the document also shows that other polluting energy sources should also have their participation in the matrix reduced by the end of the year, with emphasis on coal plants, which should suffer a drop of more than 40% compared to 2021.
Energy produced from nuclear and industrial gas plants should remain at the same percentages as at the end of last year. Check the table below:
Monthly Energy Bulletin
The Monthly Energy Bulletin is a product of the DIE (Department of Information and Energy Studies), the SPE (Secretariat of Energy Planning and Development) of the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy), which aims to monitor a set of energy variables and non-energy sources capable of allowing a reasonable estimate of the monthly and accumulated behavior of Brazil's total energy demand.
