The plants released by ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) for commercial operation in May totaled an increase of 601.5 MW in installed power in Brazil. According to the Agency, this is the best monthly result achieved in the year so far.
From January to May 2022, the expansion achieved was approximately 2,162 MW. Also according to ANEEL, the increase seen in May was:
- 387.2 MW in thermoelectric plants;
- 144 MW in wind plants;
- 40.7 MW in photovoltaic projects, It is;
- 29.5 ME in small hydroelectric plants.
The Agency also pointed out that the additions were made in the states of Bahia, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pernambuco, Paraná, Rio Grande do Norte, Roraima and São Paulo.
The expansion of generation this year has occurred, so far, in 13 states in four Brazilian regions. Currently, Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte account for 43.9% (950.1 MW) of the installed power in Brazil in 2022.
Capacity installed
SIGA data (ANEEL Generation Information System), point out that the total installed power in Brazil, until May this year, was 183,129.3 MW. Of this total in operation, 83% from power plants they are driven by sources considered sustainable, with low greenhouse gas emissions.
Projection until 2028
SIGA data, obtained this Tuesday (7) by Canal Solar, show that the release for commercial operation of 1,832 thousand plants (73,782.06 MW) Throughout the national territory until 2028, and another 74 (3,464.58 MW) do not yet have a forecast.
Of the total number of plants scheduled for commercial operation by 2027, 1,235 projects are solar energy. Furthermore, 21 photovoltaic plants are not yet scheduled to come into operation.
This amount should increase by approximately 51,058.97 MW by 2027 (this amount does not include plants that are not expected to be released for commercial operation). See the graph below.
Still according to SIGA data, the solar source will easily lead the number of plants scheduled for commercial operation. See the table below.
