O Brazil he has 383 GC projects (centralized generation) in the process of construction started, being 313 of them (more than 80% of the total) from of photovoltaic and wind projects, second data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).

At this moment, they are 168 solar power plants It is 145 wind farms in the implementation phase in the country – which also has 37 thermoelectric projects under construction, which represents less than 10% of the total.

ANEEL also records that another 33 energy projects are under construction, with 28 in PCHs (Small Hydroelectric Power Plants); three CGHs (Hydroelectric Generating Plants), in addition to more a thermonuclear plant It is another hydroelectric plant. 

The numbers recorded by the Agency also show that all new plants in the construction phase total a granted capacity of 18.8 GW. A most from them is from photovoltaic projects, with 6.64GW scheduled to enter commercial operation in the coming years.
