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.

Nunes ameaça processar governo após Aneel avançar em renovação de concessão da Enel e outras distribuidoras
A diretoria da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel) aprovou, na terça-feira, dia 25, os termos da renovação dos contratos de concessão de 19 distribuidoras em todo o país, entre elas a Enel em São Paulo. Diante da decisão, a prefeitura de São Paulo ameaça processar a agência e o governo federal se a renovação se concretizar, o que depende do Ministério de Minas e Energia.
O contrato com a Enel vence em junho de 2028. A Aneel aprovou novas regras para fazer a renovação antecipada dos contratos que vencem entre 2028 e 2031 por mais 30 anos a partir da data do fim da concessão atual, com mudanças nas cláusulas.
Uma das alterações é a previsão de que o descumprimento de metas de prestação de serviço pode reduzir a distribuição de dividendos, além de prever sanções em caso de insatisfação dos consumidores com o serviço. Para isso, as empresas terão de ouvir os consumidores para desenvolver o Plano de Ação da Distribuidora anualmente.
Outra novidade será a instituição da meta de eficiência de resiliência climática, ou seja, a previsão de um tempo máximo para que as concessionárias retomem a luz após eventos climáticos extremos.
Hoje, há pouca regulamentação sobre as ações que as empresas devem tomar após a rede ser afetada por chuvas, quedas de árvores e ventania, por exemplo. A renovação também vai passar a considerar outro índice para correção das tarifas — o IGP-M vai ser substituído pelo IPCA…

CPFL tem lucro maior no 4º tri, aguarda renovação de concessões de distribuição
A CPFL enxerga um avanço para o setor de distribuição de energia elétrica com a recente aprovação do termo para prorrogação das concessões, ao passo que para o segmento de renováveis a percepção é de uma piora do ambiente de negócios com o agravamento dos cortes de geração, disse à Reuters o CEO da companhia.
A elétrica controlada pela chinesa State Grid anunciou nesta quarta-feira um lucro líquido de R$1,57 bilhão de reais no quarto trimestre, 18,7% maior na comparação annual. Já o Ebitda (lucro antes de juros, impostos, depreciação e amortização) aumentou 5,3% na base anual, para R$3,28 bilhões.
No consolidado de 2024, o lucro da CPFL avançou 4,1%, alcançando R$5,76 bilhões, com o Ebtida crescendo a uma taxa de 2,4%, para R$13,13 bilhões.
Na abertura por segmentos de negócio, a distribuição de energia mostrou desempenho negativo no fechamento do ano, impactada por um IGP menor reconhecido nas tarifas ante 2023 e por efeitos não recorrentes. Já na geração, itens meramente contábeis, como reversão de valores que haviam passado por contenções, ajudaram a impulsionar os resultados…

Vamos apresentar uma nova reforma do sistema elétrico ao Congresso, diz Silveira
O ministro de Minas e Energia, Alexandre Silveira , afirmou nesta terça-feira, 25, que o governo vai apresentar uma nova reforma do sistema elétrico ao Congresso Nacional . Um dos principais tópicos é sobre a revisão dos subsídios.
“Vamos apresentar uma nova reforma do setor elétrico ao Congresso Nacional e debater com a sociedade brasileira. É natural cada um defender o seu quinhão, mas a energia cara é aquela que não tem, que coloca as vidas das pessoas em risco. Luz também é segurança”, afirmou o ministro, durante participação no CEO Conference, evento organizado pelo BTG Pactual (do mesmo grupo controlador da EXAME ).
O ministro esteve no painel “Estratégias para Segurança Energética no Brasil”, que também contou com a presença do CEO da Eneva, Lino Cançado, e do CEO da TAG, Gustavo Labanca.
Silveira afirmou que respeita o Congresso, mas disse que o setor elétrico precisa "respeitar minimamente o planejamento" para evitar o aumento na conta de luz. Essa não é a primeira vez que o ministro menciona a necessidade de uma reforma do sistema elétrico brasileiro…

Com excesso de oferta de energia, elétricas puxam o freio em renováveis
Empresas do setor de energia estão reavaliando investimentos em geração e direcionando os recursos para segmentos mais conservadoras e previsíveis, devido ao excesso de oferta no Brasil; à forte volatilidade dos preços, que compromete a viabilidade de novos projetos renováveis; e aos cortes de geração impostos pelo Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico (ONS) devido à baixa demanda.
Essa instabilidade do mercado, agravada por subsídios e alocação ineficiente de recursos, tem levado empresas a adotar postura mais cautelosa. Foi o caso da francesa Engie, que não tem mais interesse em investir em novos projetos de geração renovável (“greenfield”) no momento, diante dos baixos preços no mercado de eletricidade, que não são vistos como suficientes para viabilizar empreendimentos do zero.
Segundo o CEO Eduardo Sattamini, a empresa tem aumentado a participação em outros setores, como transmissão de energia, a fim de ter mais equilíbrio entre as fontes de receita. O segmento é o mais seguro do setor, totalmente regulado e o vencedor dos leilões ganha um contrato de 30 anos indexado ao IPCA, sem risco de inadimplência. Diante desse cenário, a Engie deve aproveitar oportunidades como a aquisição de projetos contratados, que ofereçam menor risco e melhor previsibilidade de receita…

Reforma tributária: o que muda para o setor de energia solar?
“A reforma foi muito profunda, alterou a Constituição e trouxe uma nova legislação complementar, publicada em 16 de janeiro e veio para mudar a forma desorganizada com que lidamos com tributos no Brasil”, essa é a análise de Einar Tribuci, professor do Canal Solar e sócio-fundador da Tribuci Advogados.
“No entanto, o longo período de transição, até 2032, pode ser um desafio, já que teremos que conviver com dois sistemas tributários simultaneamente”, complementa o advogado.
Durante o episódio #120 da quarta temporada do podcast Papo Solar, transmitido na terça-feira (18), Einar Tribuci e Bernardo Marangon, professor do Canal Solar e diretor da Prime Energy estiveram presentes para discutir os impactos da reforma tributária.
A reforma alterou a estrutura de tributação no país, substituindo tributos como ICMS (Imposto sobre Circulação de Mercadorias e Serviços), ISS (Imposto sobre Serviços de Qualquer Natureza), PIS (Programa de Integração Social) e COFINS (Contribuição para o Financiamento da Seguridade Social).
O que entrará em vigor, são dois novos impostos: CBS (Contribuição sobre Bens e Serviços) e o IBS (Imposto sobre Bens e Serviços), com o intuito de simplificar a arrecadação e padronizar tributação em todos os estados brasileiros...

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.

Ministry of Energy releases study predicting 'technological revolution' in the energy sector
As fusões e aquisições no setor elétrico bateram recorde em volume no ano passado, aquecidas pela descarbonização, segurança energética e, principalmente, pela necessidade das empresas se adaptarem à nova realidade de atendimento ao consumidor.
De acordo com levantamento inédito da KPMG, as companhias de energia elétrica realizaram ao longo do ano 72 operações de fusões e aquisições, um aumento de 41% ante o mesmo período de 2023, quando houve 51 operações.
Esse resultado é o maior dos últimos 30 anos, disse ao Estadão/Broadcast a sócia da KPMG, Franceli Jodas, prevendo que neste ano não será diferente, já que há uma tendência de consolidação do setor.
“As empresas estão em um momento de renovação de seus portfólios. Então acho que daqui para frente a tendência será essa”, avalia.
Segundo ela, o ano passado foi marcado por movimentações domésticas no setor de energia – 50 operações foram realizadas entre empresas brasileiras. Doze transações tiveram empresas estrangeiras comprando companhias brasileiras. “Há muitas empresas se posicionando exclusivamente em energias renováveis.”

Reservatórios das hidrelétricas atingem 70% da capacidade
Neste final de semana, os reservatórios das usinas hidrelétricas do SIN (Sistema Interligado Nacional) atingiram a marca de 70% de capacidade, um volume 7% superior ao registrado no mesmo período de 2024.
O percentual já era esperado pelo ONS (Operador Nacional do Sistema Elétrico), conforme reportagem publicada pelo Canal Solar no início deste mês.
De acordo com o órgão, os níveis considerados elevados de energia armazenada estão diretamente relacionados ao período chuvoso, que desde novembro de 2024 tem apresentado volumes acima da média histórica.
Esse cenário proporcionou um alívio para os reservatórios, que são responsáveis por garantir grande parte da eletricidade consumida no país.
Além disso, o Operador destacou que algumas políticas adotadas pelo CMSE (Comitê de Monitoramento do Sistema Elétrico) também contribuíram para a recuperação dos níveis hídricos.

Brasil e Uruguai firmam acordo para ampliar intercâmbio de energia elétrica
O Brasil e o Uruguai oficializaram, nesta quarta-feira (12), um acordo para ampliar e aprimorar o intercâmbio de energia elétrica entre os dois países.
A iniciativa busca reduzir riscos operacionais e tornar o sistema elétrico mais eficiente, segundo o MME (Ministério de Minas e Energia).
Uma das principais mudanças previstas no acordo é a realocação do ponto de entrega da energia uruguaia, que passará a ser feita na subestação Candiota II, no Rio Grande do Sul – que opera com uma tensão maior que a atual subestação Presidente Médici, que está sobrecarregada.
Nos primeiros dias de fevereiro, o Brasil exportou energia para Argentina e Uruguai em volume equivalente a toda a geração termelétrica da região Sul em um mesmo dia, conforme reportagem abaixo.
Segundo o MME, o aumento da produção nacional tem reduzido a necessidade de acionamento de termelétricas, o que diminui a pressão sobre os preços da energia no mercado interno e favorece a exportação para países vizinhos.
Além disso, a energia importada do Uruguai gerou uma economia de mais de R$ 750 milhões ao Brasil em 2024. O país só compra energia de fora quando o preço é mais baixo que o das fontes nacionais.

Ministry of Energy releases study predicting 'technological revolution' in the energy sector
A Enel registrou 9.633 ocorrências de furtos de cabos na rede elétrica de São Paulo em 2024, uma queda de 17,29% em relação aos 11.647 casos do ano anterior. Este total corresponde a subtração de fios tanto da rede aérea quanto da subterrânea nas 24 cidades da região metropolitana atendidas pela concessionária.
A companhia informou que tem adotado ações em conjunto com o poder público e com as polícias para resolver o problema. O furto de cabos é crime com pena de reclusão.
Infratores são atraídos pelo cobre contido nos fios, que é revendido no mercado paralelo. A prática é extremamente perigosa, já que a pessoa fica exposta a descargas elétricas de alta voltagem, que podem ser fatais. Além disso, o furto de cabos prejudica a população, causando interrupções no fornecimento de energia.
Uma das medidas adotadas pela Enel para conter os furtos foi a substituição das tampas de ferro pelas de concreto nos acessos à rede subterrânea, que alimenta, principalmente, a região central da capital paulista. O modelo desenvolvido pela concessionária é mais pesado que o tradicional, de ferro, e precisa de auxílio de um guindaste para ser removido, o que dificulta a ação de infratores. Em 2024, a queda de casos em comparação a 2023 foi de 62% (de 134 para 51 ocorrências)…

Ministry of Energy releases study predicting 'technological revolution' in the energy sector
O mercado de energia está em franca expansão no Brasil. O País tem a vantagem de gerar energia de múltiplas formas como, por exemplo, a hidroelétrica, eólica e solar. Há bastante tempo as usinas que transformam a energia hidráulica de um curso de água em eletricidade renovável têm sido a matriz energética, mas nas últimas décadas houve boa expansão dos segmentos de usinas solares e parques eólicos. Afinal, os players dos novos setores já entenderam a necessidade de ter uma segurança perimetral mais eficiente e preventiva?Um grande entrave no segmento ainda é que muitas vezes no início da construção do canteiro de obras de uma usina solar, por exemplo, não se pensa na proteção do perímetro, pois o cronograma do projeto original, muitas vezes é um simplesmente uma ‘copia’ de outro país mais desenvolvido, que tem uma realidade bem diferente da nossa.Há diversas empresas que seguem uma linha de construção de países europeus, onde não há necessidade de preocupação com a segurança do perímetro como no Brasil. Na verdade, em nosso país situação é bem outra. Temos um grande potencial energético extraordinário o que tem atraído muitos investidores, mas o problema é que há projetistas aqui que não se atentaram para o fato de que a segurança perimetral de uma usina solar, por exemplo, no Brasil é na verdade a parte mais importante do seu projeto…

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.

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...

Em um plano de desenvolvimento de energia renovável e combate à desertificação, a China está construindo um complexo com milhares de quilômetros de extensão para captação de energia solar . A previsão é que a instalação seja capaz de abastecer a área de Pequim, que tem cerca de 22 milhões de habitantes.
Como é o projeto chinês
Antes considerado um "mar da morte", o deserto Kubuqi foi o escolhido para receber a "Grande Muralha Solar". Localizado na Mongólia Interior, foi reformado com a instalação de painéis solares.
As características climáticas e a localização foram os principais motivos que levaram à construção ao deserto Kubuqi. O terreno plano, o clima ensolarado e a proximidade dos centros industriais formam um conjunto favorável à instalação dos painéis na região. Segundo a Nasa, a agência espacial dos Estados Unidos, os painéis estão sendo instalados em uma faixa de dunas ao sul do Rio Amarelo, entre as cidades de Baotou e Bayannur…
