The Brazilian electricity sector will receive R$7,6 billion in investments planned for the period 2025 to 2029. This is what the medium-term operational plan indicates, which will guide the without (National Interconnected System), recently released by ONS (National Electric System Operator).
The measure is part of a set of actions by MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) for the coming years, including other investment fronts in the sector. Of the total foreseen in the plan, around R$5,8 billion will be allocated to new projects.
In addition, the national electricity sector will also benefit from the addition of 1.260 km of new transmission lines and 14.750 MVA of new transformers in substations, both existing and new.
The published document also provides information on expanding the exchange limits between subsystems.
According to the study, the export capacity from the North/Northeast regions to the Southeast/Central-West regions during the system's peak period could increase by 30% by the end of 2029, rising from 15.600 MW, estimated for January 2025, to 20.500 MW.
Export capacity from the Southeast/Central-West to the South is expected to increase by around 20% in the same period, rising from 10.500 MW (January 2025) to 12.500 MW (December 2029).
In the ONS's understanding, the increase in exchange capacity is a positive factor for greater use of non-hydro renewable generation available in the Northeast region.
