Check out the 5 biggest photovoltaic plants in Brazil

According to data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), Brazil has about 670 UCs (consumer units) with their own generation of energy from solar sources.

Currently, Minas Gerais leads the state ranking with around 120 thousand UCs. In second place is São Paulo, with approximately 110 thousand, and Rio Grande do Sul, which has around 95 thousand photovoltaic systems.

With regard to the consumer class, who appears at the top of the list is the residential segment, with 515 thousand consumer units, followed by the commercial sector, with 95 thousand, and the rural area, which has 50 thousand systems.

There is no doubt, there are thousands of plants spread across Brazil generating savings and sustainability. And when it comes to rated power, do you know which are the 5 biggest plants in the country?

UK connects 10 millionth household on DCC's smart meters network

The 10 millionth property was connected in London on the 26th of November by EDF, which fitted both a gas and electricity meter along with a communications hub and pre-payment interface device.

In addition to the 10 million households connected to the network, 41 million devices including smart meters, in-home displays, communications hubs, and smart energy control devices are connected to the network.

A total of 16.3 million smart meters are using the system for data telemetry of which some 6.4 million are first-generation and 9.9 million are second-generation smart meters, according to the statement.

The smart meters alone that are connected to the network are helping the UK to reduce 472.185 tonnes of carbon emissions per annum.

The DCC says some 646 million messages have been transported via the network in October alone. The messages include meter readings, tariff information, prepay credit top-ups and smart heating controls.

Approximately 1.7 million energy switches were made in October via the network...

Brazil leads Engie's green hydrogen projects

Brazil will play a relevant role in the strategy of French holding Engie to reach the goal of reaching 4 gigawatts (GW) of global green hydrogen production capacity by 2030. According to the executive vice president of global green hydrogen business development of the group, Raphael Barreau, the country has strong potential to attract projects due to the abundance of water and the good price of energy generated by renewable sources.

Electric energy is used in electrolysis, the process that gives rise to hydrogen. In the case of green hydrogen, the electricity used comes from renewable sources. Barreau, recently selected to occupy the company's division for the segment, will be based in Brazil.

The executive points out that the complementarity between wind, solar and hydroelectric generation in the country guarantees a constant supply of clean energy, which helps to lower the cost of the electrolysis units. “Many companies are looking at the production of green hydrogen for export in Brazil, they are realizing that production here will be much cheaper than in other countries”, he says...

Basf signs renewable energy purchase contract with Engie concessionaire

The German chemical company Basf SE said on Monday, 29, that it had signed a long-term purchase contract for renewable energy in Europe with the French utility Engie SA. Financial details of the deal were not disclosed.

According to the company, Engie will supply up to 20.7 terawatt-hours (TWh) of renewable electricity to various locations where Basf operates within a period of 25 years. The contract takes effect on January 1st.

Electricity will initially come from onshore wind farms across Spain, where Engie is an equity investor or energy manager, according to Basf. Going forward, the French company will supply energy from existing Spanish assets or from future onshore and offshore wind farms.

Last week, the company announced the creation of a new subsidiary for renewable energy activities called Basf Renewable Energy GmbH.

Belo Monte bate recorde de geração

A hidrelétrica Belo Monte bateu recorde de geração máxima na última sexta-feira, 12 de janeiro, no horário de pico de consumo do país, entre 19:30h e 21:40h. Segundo boletim da Norte Energia, a usina produziu 4.278 MW sincronizando oito turbinas e registrando a geração média de 1.386 MW. A projeção é de que a marca equivale ao atendimento de 22,850 milhões de pessoas, evitando o acionamento de térmicas que emitiriam cerca de 1.260 toneladas de CO2 na atmosfera.
A empresa também afirmou que a necessidade de amenizar o calor altera significativamente o comportamento da carga do Sistema Interligado Nacional (SIN), com o país tendo requerido 91.232 MW por dia. Na comparação com o ano passado, durante o mesmo período, a demanda nacional nesse intervalo foi de 70.827 MW em média.

Ministry of Energy releases study predicting 'technological revolution' in the energy sector

O Brasil representará 90% de um total de 50 GW de energia solar distribuída previstos para serem instalados na América Latina até 2028. A expectativa é que o país adicione em média 7 GW por ano entre 2023 e 2028. As informações são de um estudo divulgado pela Agência Internacional de Energia (IEA, na sigla em inglês).
Segundo a IEA, o generoso sistema de compensação de energia brasileiro levou a um boom de crescimento da energia solar distribuída, com o país adicionando mais de 15 GW desde 2015.
No entanto, desde janeiro de 2023 houve uma mudança no sistema de medição líquida, que passou a cobrar dos consumidores o pagamento gradual pelo uso da rede das distribuidoras.
“Embora em muitos mercados mudanças drásticas nas políticas ou nas compensações muitas vezes levem a declínios dramáticos na nova capacidade, espera-se que o setor solar fotovoltaico distribuído do Brasil permaneça forte, com adições médias de mais de 7 GW por ano até 2028”, diz o relatório...

Copel finaliza nova linha no Noroeste do Paraná

A Copel concluiu recentemente a construção de uma nova linha de distribuição para atender a região de Porto Rico e Porto Eucalipto, no Noroeste do Paraná. A estrutura, que opera em 34,5 mil volts, conecta as subestações Nova Londrina e Porto Rico, e oferece uma terceira fonte de fornecimento de energia à região. A linha contribui para reforçar a infraestrutura elétrica e melhorar a qualidade de fornecimento aos municípios locais, que nos últimos anos têm crescido e se desenvolvido com a expansão do turismo.
O empreendimento absorveu um investimento de R$ 5,5 milhões. São 28 quilômetros de extensão de redes com fiação protegida contra o toque eventual de vegetação. Em caso de intempéries como as ocorridas no final de 2023 e que afetaram severamente o Noroeste do estado, a região pode utilizar qualquer uma das duas fontes de abastecimento...
