South America’s top hydropower producer, Brazil, has been installing a lot of other clean energy sources over the past half-decade, with solar and wind power now accounting for nearly one fourth of its power generation mix. While Brazil boasts one of the biggest clean energy shares in power in the world, some of the previous market share held by hydro generation has been replaced by soaring wind and solar power generation.
Wind and solar generated a record 27% of Brazil’s electricity in July 2023, with 19% from wind and 8% from solar. This strong performance from renewables pushed fossil fuels to just 8.9% in July, Ember said in August. Between January and August, the rise in wind and solar power generation more than met the continuing increase in electricity demand in Brazil, according to the think tank.
