The first half of 2024 saw a growth of 5,7 GW of installed power in the Brazilian electricity grid. This is the highest volume in the last 27 years for the period, surpassing the 4,8 GW of last year.
The data are from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), which since 1997 has been following the growth of the Brazilian electricity matrix.
Also according to the Agency's analysis, this expansion was driven by 168 new plants that came into operation in the first six months of this year.
Also according to ANEEL, in the month of June alone the increase in installed capacity was 889,51 MW of installed capacity, with the start of operations of 27 new plants, 13 of which were wind power, 10 photovoltaic and 4 thermoelectric.
The data of ANEEL It also shows that by the beginning of July, Brazil had already reached 203,9 GW of centralized monitored power, 85% of which came from renewable sources.
Currently, renewable sources have a strong presence in the centralized electricity matrix: hydroelectric (53,88%); wind (15,22%); and biomass (8,31%). As for non-renewable sources, the largest are: natural gas (8,78%); oil (3,92%); and coal (1,7%).
Data MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy), also point out that centralized solar generation represents 6,1% of all energy from all installed capacity in the country. Adding micro and mini generation, this number rises to 19%.
Another relevant data released by the Agency is that in the first half of this year Brazil had an installed capacity of GD (distributed generation) of 30,6 GW. Furthermore, by the end of June 2024 there was an expansion of 4,4 GW, being the month responsible for the expansion of 680 MW in total.

Congratulations on the report. Many companies are engaged in this opening of the free energy market.
I have been part of this distributed GD Geração project since October last year. Our company has more than 100 plants already installed in Brazil and generating energy credits. I can register the customer at one of our plants and send energy credits to their home or business.
Anyone who wants to know our project as a client or investor just call me on Watts 51984863327
It's only if the government doesn't get in the way that Brazil takes off.
