In late March 2025, international energy giant Shell announced the termination of its investment in large-scale solar and onshore wind power projects in Brazil, citing “portfolio adjustment” while retaining its subsidiary Prime Energy's distributed photovoltaic business. The decision reflects the challenging environment for renewable investments in the country, characterised by an oversupply of energy. . Shell has decided to scrap wind and solar power generation projects it had planned to build in Brazil, citing the unfavorable investment environment, per a Reuters report. This shift marks a notable transition for the energy giant as it refocuses its efforts on traditional oil and gas operations.

Indoor solar panels are gaining momentum as a smart solution for powering low-energy electronic devices. They offer a sustainable energy solution for spaces with limited sunlight and are used to power small electronics, emergency lights, and decorative. . Indoor photovoltaics (IPV) - sometimes known as indoor solar panels - may seem like a contradictory statement, but this technology shows great potential across many industries. However, this is only possible during the daytime, while at night, the system remains inactive. . Indoor solar power systems are turning this vision into reality across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors.

Brazil's federal government is preparing to run the country's first-ever battery storage auction later in 2025, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has confirmed. In a statement, energy minister Alexandre Silveira said the new tender would be “crucial” for reinforcing the. . The auction aims to boost Brazil's grid reliability by integrating energy storage for wind and solar power. Despite the lack of a legal framework for project operations, companies are moving to expand domestic battery production, diversify business models, and ensure that energy storage is ready to play a central role in the country's. . The Brazilian National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) is entering a new phase of dialogue on energy storage regulation. On December 10, 2024, ANEEL presented the results of the first phase of Public Consultation (CP) No. He. . Brazil cemented its position as Latin America's solar leader, ranking as the world's fourth-largest solar market in 2024 with 18.
