In December 2010, Brazilian Ministry of Mines and Energy approved the new 2010-2019 Decennial Plan for Energy Expansion. Such plan implements the phasing out of fossil fuel power plants construction by 2014 and foresees major expansions in the hydro and wind grid-connected power sectors over the next ten years.

Installed capacity targets for renewable energies have been fixed as follows:

Hydro : from 83.1 GW in 2010 to 116.7 GW by 2019.

Small hydro : from 4 GW in 2010 to 7GW by 2019.

Biomass : from 5.4 GW bin 2010 to 8.5 GW by 2019.

Wind : 1.4 in 2010 to 6 GW by 20119

The 10-year plan foresees an investment package of BRL 952 billion, EUR 420.2 billion equivalent, and targets additional grid-connected electricity generation from renewable sources of 4GW by the end of 2010, 777 MW in 2011 and 2 GW in 2012. Considering the dramatic increase in domestic electricity consumption, 52% by 2019, the total share of renewable energy sources will have to increase by 13% annually with wind, biomass and hydro as front-runners.

Europe’s Russia Sanctions Have a Major Blind Spot

Over the last two years, the EU and UK have emerged as leading actors in imposing sanctions on Russia. But people like Maria Demertzis, Professor at the European University Institute in Italy, have raised questions around the effectiveness of the sanctions campaign, as European institutions continue to operate profitable subsidiaries in the country with little scrutiny. UK and EU regulators should broaden their sanctions campaign by increasing scrutiny of European businesses that remain economically exposed to Russia. The new UK Foreign Secretary,…

The AI Boom Could Triple Data Center Water Use by 2030

The massive data center capacity scale-up underway has focused attention on the scale of water required for these facilities to operate. Rystad Energy estimates that without water-saving measures in place, global water consumption by data centers could rise to 644 billion liters per year by 2030. However, active mitigation could reduce demand to 388 billion liters, representing worst- and best-case scenarios as data center capacity ramps up, driven largely by the growing adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) in everyday life. Forecasting the…

Venezuela Helped Build OPEC. Now It May Help Break It Apart

Venezuela helped create OPEC. More than six decades later, it is considering walking away, and Washington appears perfectly happy to hold open the door. Caracas is weighing whether to leave the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, Bloomberg reported Friday, citing people familiar with discussions that have included U.S. officials. No final decision has been made. Venezuela produced about 1.117 million barrels per day (bpd) in July according to OPEC’s secondary sources, and is currently exempt from OPEC production quotas after…
