Technology for more efficient power generators
The use of temporary power through generators began to increase in the 1970s, a time when Brazil heavily invested in infrastructure. Diesel-powered, these engines were noted for their robustness, but at the cost of high fuel consumption and pollutant emissions. With technological advancements, modern generators have become more efficient, economical, and sustainable, meeting current demands for energy efficiency and reduced environmental impact.
The role of the Independent Power Producer in areas not connected to the SIN
The concept of the Independent Power Producer (IPP) was established in 1995 by law 9.074. The IPP is defined as a “legal entity or companies in consortium that receive a concession or authorization from the granting authority to produce electricity intended for the commercial sale of all or part of the energy produced, at their own risk.” In practice, the IPP is responsible for supplying energy to areas.
Energy demands in retail
Brazilian retail anticipates recovery with the injection of R$ 200 billion from the 13th salary, representing 3% of GDP according to DIEESE. The sector faces energy challenges due to the tropical climate that requires constant air conditioning, especially with tariff flags that increase energy costs. The solution is the adoption of temporary energy during peak hours, potentially saving up to 30% on electricity costs.
