The investment required for this replacement is estimated at U$S 376,5 billion. Despite the photovoltaic energy promising type of energy for Brazil, it is still unfeasible for the country to achieve goals in Paris Agreement (0,187 GtCO2e for 2030).
President of the Brazilian solar association, Absolar, Rodrigo Sauaia, told pv magazine, “The final average price for solar was impressive and the price drop was stronger that anticipated.” He also believes the long-term price reduction trend of solar PV in Brazil is solid.
The Brazilian solar market is on the cusp of maturity, if the result of the recent A-4 auction, which delivered a surprising drop in PV technology prices, is anything to go by. The final average price for all of the solar projects selected in the auction came in at a surprising 118 BRL (US$35.2)/MWh.
In its press release on the auction’s outcome, Absolar said the strong drop in prices was mainly attributable to three key factors: (i) the price reduction for PV components; (ii) the strong value increase of the Real against the dollar in the past year; and (iii) increasing competition among all market players.
Despite the auction’s surprising outcome, which was also driven by cheaper equipment and a stronger Real, PV technology will not be included in the upcoming A-6 auction. The Brazilian solar market is on the cusp of maturity, if the result of the recent A-4 auction, which delivered a surprising drop in PV technology prices, is anything to go by.
