Description

Brazil Power Market Analysis

The Brazil Power Market size in terms of installed base is expected to grow from 251.06 gigawatt in 2025 to 369.74 gigawatt by 2030, at a CAGR of 8.05% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

Hydropower remains the single-largest source, yet wind and solar additions are accelerating as investors respond to supportive auctions and long-term decarbonization targets. Transmission build-outs, including a planned ultra-high-voltage direct-current link from the Northeast to the Southeast, underpin resource diversification while addressing geographic load imbalances. Privatization of Eletrobras has unlocked access to global capital markets, encouraging private developers to compete in both generation and grid concessions. Distributed generation and corporate power purchase agreements add further momentum, especially for solar, as large industrial and data center consumers seek 24/7 clean supply.

Brazil Power Market Trends and Insights

Privatization of Eletrobras Unlocking Capex Surge in Generation and T&D

Operational metrics improved after the 2022 share sale, and by mid-2024, the utility held USD 5.1 billion in cash, enabling aggressive bids in transmission auctions and brownfield hydro refurbishments. Revenues reached USD 8.5 billion from generation and USD 5.8 billion from transmission in 2024, reflecting stable cash flows and stronger credit ratings. International issuance of USD 750 million infrastructure notes broadened investor reach, while board restructuring in 2025 signaled deeper governance alignment with minority shareholders.[1]

Long-Term Expansion Plan 2032 Prioritizing Non-Hydro Renewables

The national plan embeds targets that lift wind and solar to 45 GW each by 2032, up from a combined 23 GW in 2024. Northeast provinces host almost three-quarters of wind projects, supported by competitive capacity factors and proximity to export-oriented hydrogen hubs. Solar rooftop installations surpassed 1 million systems in early 2025 as households and SMEs leveraged stable net-metering rules. Investment needs of USD 90 billion through 2032 span distributed generation, hydro modernization, and isolated-system electrification.

Drought-Induced Hydrological Risk Impacting Hydro Dominant Mix

Brazil generates 55% of its electricity from hydropower, making it vulnerable to climate variability and drought. As irregular rainfall threatens electricity reliability, Brazil is diversifying its energy sources beyond hydropower. Research suggests that when strategically deployed across regions, hydropower can serve as a virtual battery, complementing wind and solar energy. This challenge is most pronounced in the Southeast and Northeast regions, where past droughts have resulted in energy rationing and a costly dependence on thermal generation.

Other drivers and restraints analyzed in the detailed report include:

  1. Annual Transmission Auctions Catalyzing Grid Expansion across North-Northeast
  2. Net-Metering Law 14.300/2022 Accelerating Distributed Solar Adoption
  3. Environmental Licensing Bottlenecks for Large-Scale Projects

Segment Analysis

The Brazil power market size for generation reached 230 GW in 2024, with hydropower supplying 55% of output. Wind capacity climbed past 27 GW and utility-scale solar crossed the 10 GW mark, representing the fastest-growing slices of the Brazil power market. Distributed photovoltaic systems added a further 17 GW, underscoring how small-scale assets now complement centralized dams. By 2030, wind and solar together are expected to cross 110 GW, underpinning the 8.05% overall CAGR.

Governance stability and auction-driven long-term contracts have fostered low borrowing costs that benefit renewable bids. Average onshore wind strike prices settled at USD 25/MWh in 2024, while utility solar cleared at below USD 23/MWh, ensuring continued price leadership. Bioenergy remains relevant in sugar-cane-producing states, contributing to baseload supply and balancing seasonal hydro inflows. The diversified mix positions the Brazil power market to maintain its global top-five ranking for clean-energy penetration.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
