Brazil Sets New Record as Wind and Solar Power Supply Nearly a Quarter of Electricity Demand

Brazil has achieved a significant milestone in its energy sector, with wind and solar power now supplying a record share of the country’s electricity needs. Thanks to favorable weather conditions and increased investment in renewable projects, these clean energy sources have met almost a quarter of Brazil’s demand at peak times this year. This marks a crucial step toward reducing reliance on hydroelectric and fossil fuel power, as the nation works to cut its carbon footprint and diversify its energy mix.

Industry experts predict continued growth for Brazil’s renewables, pointing to the government’s supportive policies and the country’s abundant natural resources. As wind and solar power take on a more prominent role in the grid, analysts say Brazil is positioning itself as a global leader in the transition toward cleaner, more sustainable energy sources.
