A solar energy in Brazil continues to break records. On June 2, the fountain reached the ovaverage daily value of 5,444 MWmed in the National Interconnected System (SIN), which corresponded to 7.5% of the load. That same day, there was also a record for average hourly solar generation between 11 and 12 hours, reaching 17,542 MWmed, which corresponded to 22.8% of the SIN load.
The information is from ONS (National Electric System Operator) and were presented at the last meeting of the CMSE (Electricity Sector Monitoring Committee) on Wednesday (14).
The Operator also presented the prospects for the SIN operation, which show the expectation of achieving, in the most conservative scenario, the third best storage in history for the end of November (between 59% and 73.5%).
At the end of May, equivalent storages of 86.2%, 81.9%, 89.1% and 98.4% were verified in the Southeast/Mid-West, South, Northeast and North subsystems, respectively. For SIN, storage at the end of May was 87.1%, the best SIN levels in the last 12 years.
The board was also alerted to the beginning of the El Niño phenomenon, now in June. The typical effects of this season in Brazil are associated with the occurrence of above-average temperatures in the Center-South of the country and the increase in precipitation in the South region, mainly in spring. The period of monitoring fires in the transmission lines of the North and Northeast subsystems also begins, due to the dry period in these regions.
Expansion of generation and transmission
The expansion seen in May 2023 was approximately 1,286 MW of installed capacity for centralized electricity generation, 523 km of transmission lines and 2,487 MVA of transformation capacity. Thus, in 2023, the expansion totaled 4,626 MW of installed centralized generation capacity, 2,969 km of transmission lines and 7,760 MVA of transformation capacity. Regarding distributed generation, the expansion seen in 2023 was 4,943 MW, reaching a total of approximately 21.3 GW installed in the country.
