Overview
This analysis includes a comprehensive Brazil energy market report and updated datasets. It is derived from the most recent key economic indicators, supply and demand factors, oil and gas pricing trends and major energy issues and developments surrounding the energy industry. The report provides a complete picture of the country situation, dynamics, current issues and future prospects. With market data and continuous follow-up of markets news, this report brings clear and concise insights with which to tackle national energy challenges and opportunities. Browse the tabs below for a detailed table of contents, the list of graphs and tables, and details on the data files.
Highlights
- Brazil targets a share of 63% of renewables in its energy mix for 2034 and a 53% cut in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2005.
- The project law to implement a cap-and-trade carbon market was approved in December 2024.
- Eletrobras, the federal holding company, owns is the largest power generator, with around 20% of the power production.
- Three companies control half of the power distribution (Neoenergia, Enel, and EQTL).
- Petrobras is responsible for around 2/3 of the oil output and over 90% of gas production.
- Solar capacity, which soared by 60% in 2023 and by around 40% in 2024, is mainly led by micro and mini distributed PV.
- Renewables accounted for 90% of power generation in 2024, 56% of which is hydro.
- Crude oil production is increasing rapidly (+64% since 2013, despite stabilization in 2024).
- Brazil is the second biofuel producer in the world after the US.
- Gasoline and diesel prices are close to the regional averages. Ethanol continues to be a cheap option.
- Electricity prices are among the highest in Latin America.
- After years of stability, total energy consumption is rising (3%/year since 2020).
- Biomass is the dominant fuel with 37% of the energy mix in 2024; biofuels represent around 25% of road transport consumption.
- The country's consumption should double by 2050, and power consumption should triple.
Institutions & Energy Policy
The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has the responsibility for the whole energy sector.
The National Council for Energy Policy (CNPE), composed of government representatives, experts in energy, and non-governmental organisations, is the advisory body for the energy policy.
EPE, the Energy Research Company under MME, is in charge of energy planning.
Energy Companies
Oil:
Petrobras (Federal Government 50.3% of common shares and 29% of capital stock) is the national oil and gas company and the largest Brazilian company.
Energy Supply
Oil:
The country's oil production decreased slightly in 2024 to 177 Mt (-0.9%) but the trend since 2013 is a strong growth (+5%/year until 2023). In 2024, 79% of oil production came from the pre-salt.
Energy Prices
Gas:
The gas price is revised every quarter. It decreased in 2024 for both households and industrial consumers to US$16.5c/kWh (-10%) and US$6.5c/kWh (-10%), respectively. It follows a strong increase, by around 50%, between 2021 and 2023 for both households and industry, due to the dramatic increase of international prices and the devaluation of the national currency compared to the US$.
Energy Consumption
With a per capita consumption of 1.6 toe (2024), Brazil is within the average range for semi-industrialised countries but well below the European average of 2.8 toe.
Issues & Prospects
According to the 10-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2034 (Plan Decenal de Expansão de Energia 2034, PDE 2034), final energy consumption should grow by an average of 2.1%/year between 2024 and 2034 to reach 353 Mtoe, with 34% coming from oil products, 24% from biomass, 21% from electricity, 9% from natural gas, and 4% from coal.
