Overview
The Brazilian electricity sector, the third-largest in the Americas behind the United States and Canada, is predominated by renewable energies. Above all, the domestic hydraulic generation counts with 64% of the supply as the most important energy source. Adding Biomass and Wind, it can be stated that around 74% of electricity in Brazil comes from renewable energies.
Brazil has 135 wind farms, sold mainly by auctions and located primarily in the Northeastern and Southeastern of the country, with an installed capacity of 2,876 MW. Accordingly to forecasts of the Brazilian wind power association, known as Abeeolica, by 2017, the total wind capacity will reach 8.7 gigawatts.
