Under the new Growth Acceleration Program (PAC), a massive injection of resources is about to revolutionize Brazil's energy sector. With a total investment of R$ 89 billion, the program aims to significantly improve power transmission across the country, paving the way for a more sustainable and efficient future.
Of the total amount, R$ 33 billion will be allocated to transmission works in progress, while the remaining R$ 56 billion will finance projects that will be subject to tenders scheduled for the years 2023 and 2024.
The plan is ambitious and includes a series of undertakings that will not only improve the energy transmission infrastructure, but will also facilitate the integration of clean and renewable sources into the country's electricity matrix. One of the main targets is the expansion of electrical interconnections between the North/Northeast and Southeast/Center-West regions, which will strengthen the resilience of the system as a whole.
Alexandre Silveira, Minister of Mines and Energy, highlighted the importance of these investments in a recent statement: “With the investments in the new PAC, we will increase the supply of energy, with quality and safety, using electricity generated from clean and renewable sources. It will be good for the consumer and also to generate jobs and income for Brazilians.”
One of the areas that will benefit substantially from this plan is the Northeast Region, which will see an impressive increase of up to 70% in installed capacity from renewable generation sources. This increase will not only contribute to the operational efficiency of the National Interconnected System (SIN), but will also result in lower costs for users.
The ambitious program will not only strengthen Brazil's energy grid, but also reaffirm the country's commitment to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly future. By integrating more clean energy sources, Brazil is better positioned to address global energy challenges, while continuing to drive economic growth and job creation across the country.
