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 50% cut in GHG emissions in 2030 compared to 2005.
  • Eletrobras, the federal holding company, owns about 23% of the power capacity.
  • Petrobras is responsible for over 90% of the oil output, 59% of which comes from pre-salt production.
  • Renewables account for 78% of power generation, 55% of which is hydro.
  • Micro and mini distributed PV generation reached 17 GW end-2022.
  • Crude oil exports have tripled since 2013.
  • Gasoline and diesel prices are quite 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 sharply in 2021 and is close to its peak in 2014.
  • The country's consumption is booming and 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

    Oil:

    The country's oil production grew at the rapid pace of 5.5%/year between 2013 and 2020, and decreased in 2021 (-1.6%) to 151 Mt (74% of which comes from the pre-salt). In 2002, it progressed by 4%.

  • Energy Prices

    Gas:

    The gas price is revised every quarter and increased by 56% in 2022 to US$7.47c/kWh, following the dramatic increase of international prices.

  • Energy Consumption

    With a per capita consumption of 1.4 toe (2021), Brazil is within the average range for semi-industrialised countries but well below the European average of 3 toe.

    Total energy consumption rebounded by 4.5% in 2021 to 308 Mtoe after a 2% reduction in 2020. It remained roughly stable between 2016 and 2019, and increased at a fairly rapid pace between 2000 and 2014 (3.5%/year).

  • 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.
