PV Market update Brazil
The Brazilian Solar PV Market is experiencing a boom of new projects and opportunities, both in utility-scale with the successful recent energy auctions and rooftop PV with the expansion of distributed generation. Key regulatory changes and tax incentives undeniably stimulated new and rapid 52.3% growth in distributed generation in Brazil in 2017. Consequently, estimated revenues from the Distributed Generation Market reached approximately US$ 225 million in 2017. In the recent energy auctions, 29 new utility-scale solar plants were contracted, totaling over 800MW and representing almost US$ 2 billion in investments by 2022. The webinar is going to address these promising developments and the opportunities for investments in Brazil, including an Q&A with the speaker Dr. Rodrigo Lopes Sauaia (ABSOLAR) at the end of the presentation.
