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...

Data centers aquecem contratos de autoprodução no mercado livre de energia
A contratação de energia no modelo de autoprodução tem sido uma das saídas encontradas por data centers para economizar nas tarifas de energia no Brasil. Por se tratar de uma atividade que demanda uma carga de energia elevada e que está em expansão em todo o mundo, o cenário representa uma oportunidade para o país atrair esses investimentos, dizem especialistas.
Os data centers são responsáveis por 3% do consumo de energia em todo o planeta. Com a adoção de ferramentas de inteligência artificial e maior informatização de empresas, há expectativa de expansão da capacidade e da demanda por eletricidade.
No Brasil, a autoprodução está disponível para clientes do mercado livre de energia. Nessa modalidade, o consumidor passa a ser cotista da usina.
Caso a geração seja renovável, existem vantagens, como a isenção de custos do encargo de energia de reserva (EER) e do encargo de serviço de sistema (ESS).
“O autoprodutor tem isenção desses encargos na parcela da energia autogerada e consumida. A depender de onde esse consumidor está localizado, essa economia pode variar entre 10 a 30% do valor da conta de energia desse consumidor”, explica a associada sênior do Tauil & Chequer Advogados, Luisa Tortolano...

Nova tecnologia no Rio identifica furtos de energia elétrica
Um estudo da Associação Brasileira de Distribuidores de Energia Elétrica (Abradee) apontou o Rio de Janeiro como o estado com maior volume de furtos de energia elétrica em 2023, totalizando 11,27 milhões de megawatts-hora (MWh) desviados. O levantamento mostra que, para cada 100 clientes regulares, 34 realizam ligações clandestinas, tanto em comunidades quanto em áreas nobres.
Diante desse cenário alarmante, o Programa de Pós-Graduação em Energia Elétrica e Telecomunicações da Universidade Federal Fluminense (PPGEET/UFF) desenvolveu, em parceria com a Light, um dispositivo inovador para detectar furtos de energia. O projeto faz parte do programa de pesquisa e desenvolvimento da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL) e conta com apoio da empresa TRACEL, responsável pelo desenvolvimento industrial do protótipo.
Como funciona a nova tecnologia contra furto de energia?
O equipamento foi projetado para auxiliar as concessionárias na identificação de irregularidades durante inspeções. Ele funciona por meio de um transmissor instalado na entrada do ramal elétrico – ponto onde a rede da distribuidora se conecta ao medidor do consumidor – e um receptor localizado no medidor. Caso haja diferença entre os valores de energia que saem da rede e os que chegam ao medidor, o sistema detecta automaticamente um desvio de energia…

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...

Brasil supera a marca de 5 milhões de consumidores com créditos de micro e minigeração distribuída
Em mais uma demonstração do sucesso da micro e da minigeração distribuída de energia elétrica (MMGD) no Brasil, foi ultrapassada em fevereiro a marca de 5 milhões de unidades consumidoras que utilizam os excedentes e os créditos da energia gerada nos sistemas instalados. A constatação é da Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL) a partir de dados informados pelas distribuidoras de energia. Por meio da MMGD, o consumidor gera energia elétrica, a partir de fontes renováveis ou cogeração qualificada, e injeta na rede de distribuição a energia não utilizada, recebendo créditos para usar nos momentos em que não está gerando, por meio do Sistema de Compensação de Energia Elétrica (SCEE).
O primeiro bimestre de 2025 contou com a adesão de mais de 128 mil unidades consumidoras com geração de energia ao SCEE, o que resultou em um crescimento de 1,4 gigawatt (GW) de potência instalada nesse segmento. A energia gerada por essas unidades consumidoras, assim como os créditos pela energia excedente lançada na rede de distribuição, passou a beneficiar mais de 197 mil consumidores. Considerando somente o mês de fevereiro, houve 614 megawatts (MW) instalados por meio de aproximadamente 59 mil usinas, quase todas a partir de fonte solar – duas delas são usinas eólicas…

Preços de energia disparam no Brasil com maior aversão a risco de seca
Os preços de energia elétrica no Brasil dispararam em março, mais do que triplicando em relação aos níveis do mês anterior, com a piora das chuvas na reta final do período úmido sendo precificada por uma metodologia de formação de preços aprimorada e mais avessa a risco que entrou em vigor neste ano.
Especialistas e comercializadoras consultados pela Reuters avaliam que os preços devem permanecer mais altos e voláteis até o final do ano, elevando custos tanto para o mercado regulado, com maior possibilidade de acionamento de bandeira tarifária amarela ou vermelha, quanto para o livre, com alta de preços nos contratos de energia para curto e médio prazo.
O preço de liquidação das diferenças (PLD), referência para negócios de curto prazo no mercado livre e também parâmetro para acionamento de bandeiras tarifárias, subiu de cerca de R$90 por megawatt-hora (MWh) em fevereiro para mais de R$300/MWh em março, se situando em R$350/MWh na média desta semana…

Brasil precisa escolher entre o futuro da energia ou as termelétricas
O setor elétrico brasileiro está diante de uma encruzilhada histórica: ou avança na modernização da matriz elétrica com soluções inovadoras e sustentáveis, ou perpétua um modelo caro, inflexível e poluente. Os Leilões de Reserva de Capacidade (LRCAP), programados para junho de 2025, podem consolidar o Brasil como protagonista da transição energética global – mas também carregam o risco de aprisionar o país em um ciclo de ineficiência e desperdício.
O governo brasileiro tem uma decisão clara a tomar: seguir a tendência internacional de armazenamento de energia e otimização da rede elétrica ou insistir na contratação de térmicas inflexíveis e extremamente onerosas para o consumidor.
O desperdício de energia renovável e o impacto na conta de luz
O Brasil desperdiça uma quantidade alarmante de energia limpa e barata. Com o crescimento da geração solar e eólica, tem se tornado comum o chamado vertimento de energia renovável – ou seja, eletricidade que poderia ser utilizada, mas é desperdiçada por limitações na transmissão ou na gestão do sistema. Em vez de maximizar o aproveitamento dessas fontes, o planejamento atual ainda prioriza a expansão de termelétricas, que são caras e poluentes...

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...

Março terá bandeira tarifária verde
A Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (ANEEL) anunciou nesta sexta-feira (28/2) que a bandeira tarifária para março de 2025 será verde. Isso significa que os consumidores de energia elétrica não terão custo adicional nas contas de energia.
Desde dezembro de 2024, a bandeira tarifária permanece verde, refletindo as condições favoráveis de geração de energia no País. Com o período chuvoso, os níveis dos reservatórios melhoraram, assim como as condições de geração das usinas hidrelétricas. Dessa forma, o acionamento de usinas termelétricas, que possuem energia mais cara, torna-se menos necessário.
Implementado pela ANEEL em 2015, o sistema de bandeiras tarifárias é uma ferramenta essencial de transparência, permitindo que os consumidores acompanhem, mês a mês, as condições de geração de energia no País.
A ANEEL reforça que, mesmo com condições favoráveis de geração, é crucial manter bons hábitos de consumo para evitar desperdícios e contribuir para a sustentabilidade do setor elétrico.
