Brazil Microgrid Market Growth Factors
The Brazil microgrid market is driven by renewable energy penetration and grid modernization programs. Due to abundant solar energy in the country, PV solar systems are the most common primary component of microgrids. In the industrial, commercial and community sector, solar-plus-storage microgrids are becoming increasingly common, providing both a way to avoid high grid tariffs and providing energy independence and critical power supply during grid outages, as battery storage technology rapidly evolves.
Microgrids may be used in off-grid communities, such as in the Amazon or remote states, where it is not feasible to extend the transmission grid. At least 11.4% of households in Brazil are energy poor. Renewable microgrid systems include storage or backup generation to provide homes, schools, health centers and small businesses with electricity to stimulate socio-economic development and environmental benefits, in lieu of diesel generators formerly used for stand-alone power in remote off-grid communities.
In addition, more refined interconnection and tariff regulations to improve projects' economics are being created. Business models such as build-own-operate and energy-as-a-service contracts are advancing projects with lower upfront costs that are more amenable to industrial, commercial, and community customers. Microgrids have been deployed to advance energy resiliency and ancillary grid services with projects such as load management and peak shaving being financed and replicated in other regions of Brazil.
