Polaris Solar Photovoltaic Network News: As a major hydro-power country, Brazil's hydro-power installed capacity accounts for nearly 80% of the total renewable energy power installed capacity so far. With the rapid economic growth and the impact of the drought this year, Brazil's energy supply has tightened, and both coal and natural gas need to be imported in large quantities. In this context, wind power and photovoltaic have become the best options for Brazil to reduce its dependence on fossil energy.

Inspired by the mid- to long-term emission reduction targets and the continuous improvement of renewable energy competitiveness, Brazil has had a strong willingness to develop renewable energy in recent years. A few days ago, Brazilian energy regulatory agency Aneel approved a new regulation for multi-energy complementary power stations, hoping to promote the development of renewable energy represented by wind power and photovoltaic power through continuous improvement of relevant laws and regulatory systems.

New regulations promote clean energy development

It is reported that the new bill released by Brazil first defines the range of energy types for multi-energy complementary power stations, clearly supports power stations with wind power and photovoltaic power generation as the main energy type, and allows the addition of hydro-power and thermal power plants to encourage the synergy of different energy combinations Development has prompted Brazil to make better use of renewable energy.

In addition, the new bill also promulgated the electricity price setting mechanism for such power stations, grid access thresholds, rules for signing electricity sales contracts, network fees, and related preferential tax policies.
