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...

O investimento bilionário da Enel na rede elétrica de três estados em 2025
A Enel Brasil , empresa responsável pela distribuição de energia elétrica , informou um investimento de mais de 1,17 bilhão de reais em distribuidoras de energia de São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro e Ceará no primeiro trimestre de 2025, um recorde para o período.
Segundo a companhia, o valor impulsionou a modernização das redes, prejudicou o tempo médio de interrupção no fornecimento e gerou a contratação de mais de 2.000 profissionais para atuação em campo.
Em São Paulo, foram pagos 484,5 milhões de reais em investimentos, o maior montante já aplicado pela empresa em um primeiro trimestre desde que herdou a concessão. No Ceará, o CAPEX chegou a 375,5 milhões de reais. No Rio, a cifra foi de 314,1 milhões.
A Enel também informou que houve reforço na automação e resposta a eventos climáticos extremos, resultando na queda do indicador DEC (tempo médio de falta de energia) em três estados: 8% em São Paulo, 11,2% no Rio e 11,1% no Ceará.
Até 2027, a empresa pretende investir 10,4 bilhões de reais apenas em São Paulo. No Rio, a distribuidora também teria recebido um suporte de 2,5 bilhões, com lucro de alavancagem de 36%, ou que, de acordo com a Enel, alcançado no menor nível em uma década e o mais baixo entre os grandes do setor.

Abertura total do mercado de energia não é boa para quem?
O governo informou que enviará ao Congresso Nacional um projeto para equalizar direitos e custos no setor elétrico . Parte disso é ampliar o mercado livre de energia para o segmento residencial, e é muito importante compreender opiniões e ver esta importante discussão no Brasil.
Certamente, uma introdução de competição no mercado varejista de eletricidade por meio do mercado livre não interessa a quem já atua nesse mercado.
Os consumidores investidores não são chamados de mercado cativo e só podem comprar energia de um único fornecedor, no caso, um distribuidor de energia. A única liberdade de que dispor é gerar sua própria energia utilizando placas solares. Portanto, a geração distribuída solar fotovoltaica tem atuado sem concorrência nesse segmento de mercado.
A abertura do mercado livre para os consumidores residenciais permitiria ampliar a concorrência oferecendo energia competitiva e sem a necessidade de investimentos em equipamentos instalações e elétricas.
Mais isso: enquanto a energia solar seleciona consumidores, já que não há equipamentos para atender a todos simultaneamente, o mercado livre permite que todos os consumidores possam acessá-lo imediatamente após sua implementação.
Importante destacar que a conta média mensal da classe residencial no Brasil é de R$ 174, enquanto a conta média equivalente de um consumidor residencial com geração distribuída solar fotovoltaica é da ordem de R$ 950…

Reforma do setor elétrico: mais liberdade para o consumidor e conta de luz menor
Com a proposta de reforma do setor elétrico que apresentamos este mês, os consumidores terão a liberdade de escolher o fornecedor de energia mais adequado às suas necessidades.
A mudança contribuirá para reduzir a conta de luz e melhorar a qualidade dos serviços prestados pelas concessionárias, que hoje atuam praticamente como monopólios, sem concorrência local entre elas.
O novo sistema funcionará de maneira muito semelhante ao que já ocorre há muito tempo com os celulares e outros serviços de telefonia, nos quais as pessoas selecionam a operadora de sua preferência entre múltiplas empresas, com base nos valores e serviços oferecidos nos diferentes planos.
A novidade beneficiará em especial indivíduos e famílias, em unidades residenciais e rurais, bem como empreendedores de pequeno porte e trabalhadores autônomos.
Estamos falando do mercado livre de energia, conhecido no setor como Ambiente de Contratação Livre (ACL). Atualmente, já estão dentro do ACL as empresas, indústrias e outros estabelecimentos que consomem um grande volume de energia elétrica...

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.

Governo da Espanha diz que levará 'muitos dias' para descobrir as causas do apagão
A ministra espanhola para a Transição Ecológica advertiu neste domingo, 4, que levará “muitos dias” até que se descubra a origem do grande apagão na Península Ibérica, que paralisou o país na última segunda-feira. "Estamos falando de muitos dias", disse Sara Aagesen em entrevista publicada neste domingo pelo jornal El País.
Sobre o papel que as energias renováveis podem ter desempenhado no apagão, a ministra admitiu a possibilidade de uma anomalia em instalações fotovoltaicas no sudoeste da Espanha, como já havia mencionado o operador da rede elétrica espanhola (REE).
“Hoje não sabemos quais instalações de geração deixaram de fazer parte do sistema”, disse Aagesen.
“Falar em energia solar fotovoltaica pode ser precipitado, embora no mapa seja possível ver as diferentes tecnologias de geração em cada região. E há muita solar fotovoltaica no sudoeste da Espanha”, destacou.
Incerteza sobre energias renováveis
A ministra também afirmou que “as renováveis não são inseguras por si só” e que é “simplista” apontá-las como a origem do incidente.
Após o grande apagão, diversos especialistas indicaram como possível causa do problema o desequilíbrio entre produção e demanda de eletricidade — algo mais difícil de corrigir sem tecnologias adequadas em uma rede cada vez mais baseada em fontes como eólica e solar...

Reforma do setor elétrico deve ser feita por MP e sair em 15 dias, prevê ministro
O ministro de Minas e Energia, Alexandre Silveira, quer acelerar a reforma do setor elétrico, que prevê a abertura do mercado livre, aumento dos benefícios para consumidores de baixa renda e a realocação dos custos setoriais.
A expectativa é que o texto da reforma seja concluído em 15 dias e encaminhado como medida provisória (MP), como forma de dar celeridade ao projeto. Essa foi a proposta apresentada por Silveira ao presidente Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, em reunião na sexta-feira, 2.
Entre as medidas já divulgadas pelo MME, estão a abertura completa do mercado livre de energia a partir de 2028, e a isenção das contas de luz de 60 milhões de brasileiros, por meio da Tarifa Social de Energia Elétrica.
Outros pontos previstos na proposta é o reequilíbrio da Conta de Desenvolvimento Energético (CDE) e a fixação de parâmetros mais rígidos para o enquadramento de grandes consumidores na modalidade de autoprodução, fixando limite mínimo de 30 megawatts (MW) contratados.
O secretário de Reformas Econômicas do Ministério da Fazenda, Marcos Pinto, defende que a reforma do sistema elétrico é o momento para revisar não apenas a tarifa social, para torná-la mais efetiva, mas também baratear a conta de energia revendo subsídios.

Neoenergia descarta novos investimentos em renováveis e aposta na distribuição
A Neoenergia não vê, no momento, oportunidades de investimentos em renováveis e em transmissão e focará no crescimento orgânico da área de distribuição até 2026. Segundo o CEO da companhia, Eduardo Capelastegui, um demonstrativo da estratégia de redução da alavancagem traçada é a venda do projeto de transmissão Itabapoana para o GIC, fundo soberano de Singapura, num negócio avaliado em R$ 127,5 milhões .
Em teleconferência com investidores para apresentação de resultados do primeiro trimestre de 2025, Capelastegui destacou que a dívida líquida de Itabapoana no valor de R$ 577 milhões, base de dados de setembro de 2024, já se encontra desconsolidada, uma vez que, em dezembro de 2024, o ativo já havia sido classificado como não circulante, para venda.
A venda é a primeira operação realizada após a assinatura do acordo de desenvolvimento firmado entre a Neoenergia e o GIC em abril de 2023, que concede ao fundo o direito de primeira oferta em relação à venda potencial futura de 50% de participação nos ativos de transmissão em construção. Para a companhia, a venda reforça a estratégia de rotação de ativos com foco na otimização de portfólio com geração de valor, seguindo a disciplina de capital.
“O GIC continua com o direito de primeira oferta para os ativos construção e, na medida que os ativos entram em operação, se inicia um processo de avaliação caso a caso”, destacou...
