What is the value of certificates?
What is the value of certificates?
All Brazilian consumers consume renewable energy.
Our matrix is hydraulic, solar, wind. Thermal sources are only used when hydroelectric reservoirs are not well supplied.
In practice, it is as if all Brazilian consumers had - as a matter of principle - a certificate of use of renewable sources!
The National System Operator decides when to dispatch thermal plants. And that does not depend on each individual consumer. This is a systemic decision.
In other words, business and institutional consumers who buy certificates to "certify" that they contract renewable energy is something redundant, unnecessary and even a waste.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
