Result of Low Bids in Brazil: All Hat, No Cattle

Brazil's PV capacity increased by only 5 kW in the past month


Brazil has added about 13.4 MW of new PV capacity so far this year.

22.12.2014: Brazil had a cumulative installed PV capacity of 18.98 MW as of Dec. 20, 2014, according to the latest statistics from the country’s energy regulator AgĂȘncia Nacional de Energia ElĂ©trica (ANEEL). Of the 289 PV systems installed in Brazil, however, only 14.99 MW of those systems are currently online, while the remaining 4.0 MW is awaiting regulatory authorization to begin operation. Brazil's installed PV capacity as of Nov. 20, 2014 was 18.93 MW. This means that in the past 30 days, only 5 kW of PV systems were installed in Brazil. At the end of 2013, Brazil had a cumulative installed PV capacity of around 6 MW. ANEEL’s statistics also reveal that, despite the high number of large-scale PV projects announced in Brazil over the past 2 years, no PV project is currently under construction and solar projects totaling 847 MW are officially under development, despite the fact that construction on the project has not yet begun. PV power currently accounts for just 0.01% of Brazil’s total generation capacity, which currently stands at 133.3 GW. © PHOTON
