The market for renewable power assets in Brazil has turned more selective amid growing mandatory cuts in wind and solar generation, said a financial advisor and an industry executive.
Brazil’s electricity grid operator ONS has had to increasingly mandate reductions or halts in electricity generation to maintain system stability as the country lacks infrastructure to absorb peaks of supply caused by solar and wind power. Investment in system infrastructure has not kept pace with the increasing renewable power capacity, which has been boosted by subsidies and the gradual opening of the deregulated market to new entrants.
