The Brazilian government has agreed to build four new hydropower stations and include them in the national investment partnership plan. According to reports, the four hydropower projects are BEM querer, 650 MW, castanheira, 140 MW, Telemaco Borba, 118 MW and tabajara, 430 MW. At present, these hydropower stations have been approved for environmental permit study.

BEM querer, located in the Amazon River in Roraima, is considered essential for Brazil’s energy security. Roraima is the only state not yet connected to the country’s main power grid (SIN). BEM querer will have a transmission line to the sin, which the government sees as a necessary domestic power station to reduce the region’s dependence on energy imports.

However, in the most environmentally friendly area of Brazil, the Amazon rainforest, BEM querer is a potential target of environmental organizations. An analysis of the project by the House of Lords in 2007 showed that it could have a negative impact on areas occupied by indigenous people.

Also located in the Amazon is tabajara hydropower station in rodonia, which may affect cities, protected areas, land and indigenous people, including communities living by rivers and fishermen. The federal prosecutor’s Office (MPF) estimates that the plant will affect 28 indigenous communities with more than 72000 people.

The other two projects are less geographically controversial. The castanheira hydropower station on the atlinos River in matogrosso state is not close to any land, and the construction works will be carried out together with the environmental plan to protect and reduce the impact on animals and plants, plants, fish and water quality. It will also provide social programmes to mitigate the impact on the population in the city.

The Telemaco Borba hydropower station on the tibagi River in Parana is far away from environmentally sensitive areas, where small-scale mining is the only activity likely to be negatively affected.

BNDES, Brazil’s National Development Bank, has provided a loan for transmission projects to connect wind projects in the south of the country to the national grid.

The 389 million euro loan is to build a transmission line in Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, to connect the southern Brazil wind power project to the grid.

According to reports, the transmission line is 1200 km long and runs through 43 cities, which will provide 6.4 GW of clean power for Brazil’s power grid.

According to the latest data released by Bloomberg new energy finance, the global investment in new renewable energy capacity from 2010 to 2019 reached US $2.6 trillion, of which the installed solar power generation capacity will exceed any other power generation technology.

According to the global trend report on renewable energy investment in 2019 released prior to the UN Global Climate Action summit, the investment will increase the capacity of renewable energy production capacity (excluding large-scale hydropower) from 414 GW at the end of 2009 to 1650 GW by the end of this year.

In the past decade, solar power investment accounted for half of the total, totaling $1.3 trillion. Solar installed capacity will increase from 25 GW in 2010 to 663 GW by the end of this year, enough to meet the annual electricity demand of nearly 100 million households in the United States.

In 2018, the proportion of renewable energy in the global power structure reached 12.9%, significantly higher than the 11.6% of the previous year. At the same time, it has reduced emissions of 2 billion tons of carbon dioxide. In 2018, the total emissions in the power sector were 13.7 billion tons.

Including all major power generation technologies (fossil and zero carbon), the net installed capacity will be 2366 GW in ten years, with solar energy taking the largest single share (663 GW), coal taking the second place (529 GW), wind energy (487 GW) and natural gas (438 GW).

In the past decade, the cost competitiveness of renewable energy has also increased dramatically. Since 2009, the average power cost of solar photovoltaic power generation, a measure that can continuously compare different power generation methods, has dropped by 81% and onshore wind power by 46%.

“Investing in renewable energy is investing in a sustainable and profitable future,” said Inger Andersen, executive director of the United Nations Environment Programme. But we can’t be complacent. During this period, emissions in the global power sector increased by about 10%. Obviously, if we are to achieve the international climate and development goals, we need to accelerate the global shift to renewable energy. ”

In 2018, global renewable energy investment reached US $272.9 billion. Although this is 12% lower than the previous year, 2018 is the ninth consecutive year with capacity investment of more than $200 billion and the fifth consecutive year with capacity investment of more than $250 billion. This is also three times the global investment in coal and gas-fired power generation capacity.

Although the capital cost of solar and wind energy projects continued to decline, and policy changes affected investment in China in the second half of the year, 2018 was still impressive: a record 167 GW of new renewable energy capacity was completed, up from 160 GW in 2017.

As far as countries and regions are concerned, China is still in the leading position. China has been the largest investor in renewable energy capacity in the past decade. From 2010 to the first half of 2019, China has committed US $758 billion. The United States is second, US $356 billion, and Japan is third, reaching US $2020 billion.

Over the same period, European renewable energy investment reached 698 billion US dollars, with Germany contributing the most, 179 billion US dollars, and the United Kingdom contributing 122 billion US dollars.

Although China is still the largest single investor in 2018, global renewable energy investment is expanding, with 29 countries and regions investing more than US $1 billion, compared with 25 in 2017.

The new energy cable developed by Silin is suitable for wind power generation equipment, fixed installation inside the wind tower, portable tools, equipment and facilities in the wind turbine and other related power systems, solar photovoltaic modules and inverter wiring systems.
