Following a wind and solar power boom over the past decade, Brazil’s green energy build-out has hit an obstacle as the network of cables that transport electricity fails to keep pace.
Between January and October, wind and solar generators in Brazil had their production reduced by 20.4 per cent, according to consultancy Volt Robotics. That was more than three times higher than the same period last year. Financial losses resulting from these enforced power wastages have exceeded R$6bn ($1.1bn) since 2024, according to Aurora.
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.
