Grid connection queues in Brazil are offering new opportunities for energy storage and hybrid systems and opening new energy business models. Renewable energy companies are adding solar and
In 2024, solar power, when including distributed generation, became the second largest source of electricity in Brazil, surpassing wind power, and reaching almost 50 GW. Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024.
In 2012, Brazil implemented net metering policies, which have recently contributed to large increases in distributed solar generation capacity. Compared with distributed solar, utility-scale solar generating capacity at the end of June was only 17.9 GW, according to the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL).
As of June 30, 2025, total solar electric generating capacity in Brazil was 23% of the total electric generating capacity. Home and building owners installed more than 3.7 million renewable distributed generation systems in Brazil as of June 30, 2025.
Utility scale solar energy in Brazil reached 16.4 GW, while distributed generation from solar accounted for 34 GW in 2024. Investments in utility-scale solar energy projects that have already been approved amount to more than $20 billion. An additional $1 billion has been invested in solar distributed generation since 2012.
