Brazil’s Solar Power Surge: A 10-Fold Increase in 5 Years

Brazil has made significant strides in solar power generation, with solar energy now accounting for a tenth of the country's electricity in 2024, a remarkable rise from just 1% five years ago. This growth places Brazil as the world’s fifth-largest solar generator, surpassing Germany in the process.

The country’s commitment to renewable energy has had a tangible impact on its emissions, with power sector emissions peaking a decade ago and then falling by 32% from 2014 to 2024. This trend reflects Brazil’s concerted efforts to decarbonize its energy sector while capitalizing on the potential of solar power to meet its growing electricity needs. As Brazil continues to invest in clean energy, it reinforces its position as a key player in the global renewable energy landscape.
