Brazil's per capita electricity consumption is set to rise by 18% until 2029, with renewables accounting for a significant share. Hydropower will provide 45%, while 40% will come from wind, solar and others. Still, reliance on hydro poses a challenge, particularly during droughts exacerbated by climate change. To diversify its matrix and strengthen energy security, Brazil is expanding renewables and boosting energy efficiency with advancements in planning, regulation, operation and infrastructure. Support the integration of renewables and energy efficiency into Brazil’s energy system. The third phase of the Energy Systems of the Future Project has been key to modernize Brazil’s electricity sector. In partnership with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and others, it promotes renewable energy expansion and efficiency, making the energy transition more inclusive. The project addresses regulatory and planning challenges, while directly reducing GHG emissions, in line with Brazil's NDC targets. A major focus has been integrating renewables into Brazil’s electricity matrix. With EPE, studies have explored incorporating renewables into isolated systems (SISOL) in the Amazon, integrating Distributed Energy Resources (RED) into planning, and assessing climate change impacts. Work with ONS has improved operations, including forecasting models for solar generation. On regulation, the project partnered with ANEEL to evaluate the National Energy Efficiency Program (PEE), and assess smart metering, ancillary services and regulatory updates. Pilot projects include a floating solar plant in Fernando de Noronha, the NZEB Space at UFRJ, distributed generation for social housing, energy storage in health facilities, and an electric bus terminal in Salvador. The success of the Energy Efficiency Learning Networks (RedEE) led to a Learning Programme under MME, and ISO 50.001 certification in expanding. The project also promotes gender equity and diversity in the energy sector.
