Brazil is gearing up to meet the energy demands of data centers and artificial intelligence in the next 15 years, as declared confidently by Alexandre Silveira, Minister of Mines and Energy at the recent G20 Energy Transitions Working Group meeting in Foz do Iguaçú. Silveira showcased Brazil’s progress in diversifying its clean energy matrix and assured that the country is well-equipped to handle the tripling energy demand from AI-driven data centers.
The focus is on interconnecting Brazil’s electrical system, modernizing energy distribution, and proposing a global energy transition fund financed by the oil and gas industry. Silveira emphasized the importance of continuing oil and gas production to meet global demand while promoting the “Fuel of the Future” bill to support the renewable energy sector.
With a focus on integrating solar and wind as new energy sources, Brazil’s energy strategy aims for stability, efficiency, and sustainability in the power grid. The upcoming G20 presidential summit in Rio de Janeiro will further delve into these proposals, reflecting Brazil’s ambition to lead in sustainable development and environmental protection on a global scale.
