On April 20, the National System Operator (ONS) released in its Monthly Load Bulletin a 2.5% growth in energy consumption in the country.
The increase in consumption can be attributed to the drop in temperatures, which become milder at this time of year, but mainly to the improvement in the confidence of the Brazilian industry, which is once again showing signs of recovery.
According to the Getúlio Vargas Foundation (FGV), industry confidence reached its highest level in almost three years in March.
With increased production and a return to growth, energy consumption once again impacts the operation of the Brazilian industry, which has the cost of this input as one of the most representative in the sector.
According to the study ‘How Much Does Energy Cost in Brazil’, by the Federation of Industries of the State of Rio de Janeiro (Firjan), 79% of industries have energy as the main input of their production lines, which can represent more than 40% of total costs.
To mitigate costs and improve competitiveness, it is expected that the Brazilian industry will seek alternatives to reduce spending on electricity.
One of them is the use of temporary energy provided by generators, which can represent savings of up to 30% during peak hours, which are between 5 PM and 9 PM, when energy is more expensive to produce.
With the newest fleet in the country, consisting of more than 800 generators, Tecnogera offers complete energy solutions, including cables, accessories, and generators with power ranging from 50 KVA to 1500 KVA.
In addition, the company has a highly qualified team of professionals ready to meet the most diverse demands.
