Brazil energy report

• 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, establishes 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 28.7% of capital stock) is the national oil and gas company and the largest Brazilian company.

• Energy Supply

  Oil:

  The country's oil production grew at the rapid pace of 4.5%/year between 2000 and 2017, bringing it to 137 Mt; it decreased slightly in 2018 (-1.4%) and recovered in 2019 (+7%) to 146 Mt. On average, 60% of production comes from the pre-salt.

• Energy Prices

  Oil:

  Gasoline and diesel prices in Brazil are relatively low compared to neighbouring countries like Chile or Columbia (around 50% and 20% lower, respectively). In 2019, the price of gasoline was US$1.12/l (-5.8%) and that of diesel US$0.92/l (-2%).

• Energy Consumption

  With a per capita consumption of 1.4 toe (2019), Brazil is within the average range for semi-industrialised countries but well below the European average of 3.1 toe.

  Total energy consumption has remained stable since 2016 (290 Mtoe in 2019) after a decrease in 2015 and 2016. It increased at a fairly rapid pace between 2000 and 2014 (3.5%/year, on average). it

• Issues & Prospects

  According to the 10-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2029 (Plan Decenal de Expansão de Energia 2029, PDE 2029), final energy consumption should grow by an average of 2.6%/year between 2019 and 2029. Electricity consumption is expected to increase by 3.8%/year, oil products by 2.8%/year, gas by 1.3%/year, and coal by 2.3%/year.

In the Brazil energy market report you will find the following tables:

• Economic Indicators: Annual historical data including population, GDP growth, imports and exports, inflation rate, energy security and efficiency indicators, CO₂ emissions.
• Supply Indicators: Historical data including oil and gas reserves, electric and refining capacity, energy production, power production and external trade. All are detailed by energy source
• Demand Indicators: Historical data including consumption per inhabitant, consumption trends, total consumption by energy source, final consumption by energy source and sector, and electricity consumption by sector.
• Energy Balances: Single table displaying the overall energy industry balance per annum, also graphically displayed by energy sub-segment.
• Infrastructure Projects: Covers power plant projects by energy, technology, status and operator, gas plant projects by status and operator and LNG contracts.

The Brazil energy market data since 1990 and up to 2019 is included in the Excel file accompanying the Brazil country report.
It showcases the historical evolution, allowing users to easily work with the data.

Key Data included in the excelsheet:

• Economic indicators: Annual historical economic indicators, energy security, energy efficiency and CO₂ emissions.
• Supply indicators: Annual historical reserves, capacity, production and external trade (imports(+) exports(-) balance).
• Demand indicators: Annual historical consumption per capita, consumption trends, total consumption, final consumption (per energy and per sector) and electricity consumption total and per sector.
• Energy Balance: total and per energy.
• Brazil Energy Prices: In addition to the analysis provided on the report we also provided a data set which includes historical details on the Brazil energy prices for the follow items: price of premium gasoline (taxes incl.), price of diesel (taxes incl.), price of electricity in industry (taxes incl.), price of electricity for households (taxes incl.), price of natural gas in industry (taxes incl.), prices of natural gas for households (taxes incl.), spot price of Brent and CO₂ emissions (from fuel combustion).
