Brazil can claim to be a beacon in renewable energy. In 2023, 93.1% of Brazil’s electricity came from renewable energy, with solar energy as the second largest source after hydropower with 37.2 GW or 16.5%. Of that, decentralized solar energy accounted for 70%, while centralized solar energy accounted for 30%.
The smarter E South America 2024 Conferences Intersolar, ees, Power2Drive and Eletrotec+EM-Power, aim to set the benchmark for the renewable energy industry. They address market development, technical and regulatory challenges and opportunities, and feature expert presentations on a variety of topics including solar energy, grid infrastructure, energy storage, green hydrogen and electric mobility.
In this webinar, as well as at this year's The smarter E South America Conference, we will explore and discuss the latest technology and market trends for the emerging Brazilian energy sectors. We will familiarize you with the main applications, discuss technology trends, business opportunities in these sectors.
