Article Synopsis
- The share of solar power in Brazil's grid is growing, helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve energy security.
- A study evaluates climate models' ability to predict surface solar irradiance in Brazil, indicating most regions may see a 2% to 8% increase, while the South may experience a 3% decrease.
- The findings suggest potential growth in photovoltaic energy production if supported by public policies, emphasizing the need for careful assessment of climate model uncertainty.
Reservoirs of hydropower plants (HPP) can amend water, energy, and food security in semi-arid regions. However, during severe droughts, the priority of energy demand leads to critical conditions of water availability. To reduce water use for energy, one possible measure is the adoption of solar power, an abundant energy source in semi-arid regions.
