RenEnergy do Brasil, one of the most experienced companies in Brazil, is giving TV interview in Brazilians RedeRecord about the potential of solar energy. Brazil has extremely favorable conditions for the production of energy through photovoltaic systems. Particularly in the Northeast of the country, where we can observe a large and constant incidence of solar radiation throughout the year. Solar Energy is already a reality in Brazil and will become a versatile solution for residential but also for large scale projects. PV in Brazil will become one of the most important energy sources, just like WindPower. Wind energy is now the fastest growing source of power generation in Brazil. The 6.7 GW of new power already contracted, and to be installed, ensures a potential market investment of around 15 billion US dollars in the coming years. The Brazilian wind power potential is estimated at 300 GW and the expectation of the energy industry is to contract at least another 2GW per year up until 2020. Brazil has maintained a tradition of investing in renewable energy sources while reinforcing its commitment to sustainable development and reducing its greenhouse gas emissions. Brazil is the 10th largest energy consumer in the world and the largest in South America with a population of approximate 193 million people.
