Renewable sources will rise by eight percentage points in electric power matrix in 2016, reaching a share of 83.4% (70.3% from hydro, 8.5% from biomass, 4.5% from wind). In 2015, these sources accounted for 75.5%. The data contained in the Energy Monthly Bulletin - August reference, prepared by the Secretariat of Energy Planning and Development of the Ministry of Mines and Energy.

In the forecast, the hydropower is the one that stands out, increasing its stake from 64% (2015) to 70.3% (2016) in the electricity supply matrix, and from 11.3% to 12.7% domestic supply of energy matrix. Wind power in the energy matrix, to rise one percentage point, from 3.5% (2015) to 4.5% (2016), representing a generation close to 30 TWh this year. As for biomass, is expected to pass from 8% (2015) to 8.5% (2016), also in the energy matrix.

 

Indicators until August

 

The hydraulic power supply increased 9.7% from January to August 2016. The production of oil and natural gas also have positive growth rates in the year, 0.8% and 4.6% respectively. Considering only the rates that occurred in August over the same month of 2015, oil production increased by 2.8% and natural gas 9.5%, both higher than in the full year.

 

The Energy Monthly Bulletin follows a set of variable energy and non-energy capable of allowing reasonable estimate of the monthly and cumulative behavior of the total energy demand in Brazil.
