Highlights

  • Brazil targets a 50% cut in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2005.
  • Eletrobras, the federal holding company, owns 22% of the power capacity.
  • Petrobras is responsible for over 2/3 of the oil output.
  • Solar capacity soared by 80% in 2022.
  • Renewables account for 90% of power generation, 63% of which is hydro.
  • Micro and mini distributed PV generation reached 18 GW end-2022.
  • Crude oil exports have more than tripled since 2013.
  • Gasoline and diesel prices are below the average regional levels. Ethanol continues to be a cheap option.
  • Electricity prices are among the highest in Latin America.
  • Total energy consumption rose significantly in 2021 and 2022; it is above its 2014 peak.
  • The country's consumption should double by 2050.

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

  • Energy Supply

    Gas:

    The marketed production of gas increased rapidly between 2010 and 2017 to a peak of 28 bcm (11%/year) and has been decreasing since then (-4%/year) to 23 bcm in 2022. Domestic production supplied around 72% of the country's needs in 2022.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    The gas price is revised every quarter and increased by 62% in 2022 to US$7.73c/kWh, following the dramatic increase of international prices and the devaluation of the national currency compared to the US$.

  • Energy Consumption

    With a per capita consumption of 1.4 toe (2022), Brazil is within the average range for semi-industrialised countries but well below the European average of 2.9 toe.

  • Issues & Prospects

    According to the 10-Year Energy Expansion Plan 2031 (Plan Decenal de Expansão de Energia 2031, PDE 2031), final energy consumption should grow by an average of 2.5%/year between 2021 and 2031. Electricity consumption is expected to increase by 3.5%/year, oil products by 1.6%/year, gas by 4.9%/year, and coal by 2.5%/year.

The Brazil energy market data since 1990 and up to 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.
