FAQS 4

What is the largest source of electricity in Brazil in 2024?

In 2024, solar power, when including distributed generation, became the second largest source of electricity in Brazil, surpassing wind power, and reaching almost 50 GW. Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024.

How important is wind & solar in Brazil?

But wind and solar are an increasingly important part of the mix, having rocketed from just 4 per cent (or 8 gigawatts) of Brazil’s total generation capacity in 2015 to two-fifths (or 99GW) this year, according to data from consultancy Aurora Energy Research. It calculates that $78bn was invested over that period.

What is the future of electricity generation in Brazil?

Wind generation is expected to reach 13% of the electricity matrix by the end of 2029, while solar generation is expected to double. Hydropower has been the leading Brazilian energy source for electricity generation for several decades. This is due to its economic competitiveness and its potential at the national level.

How big is solar energy in Brazil?

Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024. Investments in utility-scale solar energy projects that have already been approved amount to more than $20 billion. An additional $1 billion has been invested in solar distributed generation since 2012.
