A 3rd meeting of the Working Group on Energy Transitions of the G20 is happening this week, on the days 27 to 29 May, in Belo Horizonte (MG). The main objective of the event is discuss about the social dimension in global energy transition.
O minister from the MME (ministry of Mines and Energy), Alexandre Silveira, was present on the first day of the event and stated that it is necessary to understand the energy transition like a new model de social and economic development.
The minister also commented what for fight a energy poverty, it is necessary to guarantee the access à electricity and clean technologies for various routine actions, such as cooking.
Um example cited by the minister to combat energy poverty is the Program Light for All, developed through the public policies of the federal government. This program uses o off-grid system, which consists of solar energy with batteries.
The off-grid system allows access à energy em regions de hard access, promoting energy inclusion. Furthermore, allow that consumers GEREM yours own energy and contributes to a sustainable energy matrix.
Silveira still stated that Brazil is leader due to its energy matrix, for its decarbonization of manufacturing, mobility and Services of the biofuel tables.
Another factor highlighted by the minister is that, for the success da energy transition, it is necessary for the world to have a global awareness. “The world needs global recognition and governance for the energy transition to happen effectively. Only our energy matrix is not enough".
"The Brazil has done a effort superhuman in energy transition. The country leads the production of solar energy, wind, PV and biomass it just doesn't lead nuclear power in the world, he said.
According to IEA (International Energy Agency), are needed US$8 billion annually to guarantee the access universal to clean cooking by 2030. This implies triple os investments current ones, which are US$ 2,5 billion, for catch up that arches in seven years.
"A big obstacle To achieve universal access to clean cooking technologies is the lack de investment and financing of sectors public e private. In this sense, successful policies related to access to these clean technologies, implemented by some emerging markets and developing economies, could present valuable opportunities for South-South cooperation”, he added.
The minister also suggested an the partnership with African countries to help in energy planning for the coming years, as has been done in Brazil, through EPE (Energy Research Company), linked to the MME.
“We have to recognize the importance do proper planning energy of long term, on its most varied fronts, to guide actions, instruments de financing e policies of energy transition in countries”, he added.
Furthermore, Silveira commented about the manifestations that happened before the event. The minister talked on PROFESSIONALS solar energy sector locations about a current situation de orders de projects de microphone e minigeneration distributed.
The protesters reported that cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) has rejected projects of 5 kWp with the justification de flow reversal and, at the same time, the energy distributor would be allowing the connection of plants from 1 MW to 5 MW in its area of operation.
“A part of the manifestation the justa" stated the minister. He explained that the reason to CEMIG no to approve those projects is lack de investments by the companhia.
“A company does not has permitted what do you projects are connected, and some investments already carried out are stopped. Furthermore, other projects were not started because, in order to be financed, it is necessary to make deadlines compatible”, he added.
