The Brazilian electric matrix is composed of: hydraulic energy, 64.9%; biomass, 8.4%; wind energy, 8.6%; solar energy, 1%; natural gas, 9.3%; oil products, 2%; nuclear, 2.5%; coal and derivatives, .

The renewable energy sector accounts for 83% of the Brazilian electricity matrix, while the global average is around 25%. The renewable energy industry has continuously expanded over the years through private investment.
“And according to some long-term projections the solar energy has the potential to respond to 32% of Brazil’s total capacity by 2040, which would make it the leading source of energy in Brazil ahead of hydropower”. The recent growth and potential market for both solar and wind energy is also fuelling innovation.
Traditional biomass – the burning of charcoal, crop waste, and other organic matter – is not included. This can be an important source in lower-income settings. Brazil: How much of the country’s electricity comes from nuclear power? Nuclear power – alongside renewables – is a low-carbon source of electricity.
Hydropower has been the leading Brazilian energy source for electricity generation for several decades. This is due to its economic competitiveness and its potential at the national level.
He says that the solar energy installed capacity will grow by 1 GW per year until 2026. “And according to some long-term projections the solar energy has the potential to respond to 32% of Brazil’s total capacity by 2040, which would make it the leading source of energy in Brazil ahead of hydropower”.
Investments in the Brazilian electricity sector is expected to reach over $100 billion by 2029, including utility-scale generation, distributed generation, transmission, and distribution projects. Brazil’s electricity matrix is one of the cleanest in the world and Brazil is committed to continuing its support for renewable energy projects.

The first were installed in 2009, and are not associated with storage. The installed capacity is 13 MW, in particular via the Longoni power plant, inaugurated in 2010. Solar energy is the only renewable energy with significant development potential on the island; the wind potential (22 MW according to a study) would not lead to a significant production because the wind blows only 6 months per year.

Quaise, Inc was founded in 2018 to develop a drilling system for converting existing power stations to use superdeep . The system would repurpose existing technology to drill 20 kilometers beneath the surface, where temperatures exceed 400°C. No fracking would be required, avoiding the potential for in other geothermal systems. Drilling using this technique is hoped to be fast, with boreholes aime. [pdf]
