SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Wind and solar energy producers in Brazil have warned they are reconsidering future investments there after the national grid operator repeatedly capped how much energy they could deliver in the past year, which squeezed their profits.
Brazil has made big strides encouraging companies to invest in wind, solar and other renewable power generation sources, offering generous financing and subsidies. But all the electricity they generate has taxed the grid.
With more than a century of use and with a large installed capacity, the electric energy sector in Brazil has a complex network of transmission lines that runs through Brazil, allowing a family's refrigerator in the interior of São Paulo to work with energy generated by a hydroelectric plant in the north of the country.
The Brazilian electricity sector is divided into generation, transmission, and distribution. The generators produce the energy, which will be transported by the transmission companies from the point of generation to consumer centers, where the distributors are responsible for delivering it to the consumers' homes.
Brazil is set to conduct the country's first-ever energy storage auction for adding batteries and storage systems to the national power grid.
Interest in the auction has been expressed by power companies such as Portugal's EDP and Brazil's ISA Energia. The auction will enhance Brazil's power grid reliability by integrating energy storage solutions for electricity generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar.
