Six new projects in three states enter Reidi and expand the country’s bet on the energy transition
The federal government approved tax incentives for six new generation projects in the country, reinforcing the bet on the energy transition. There are five wind power plants in Bahia and two solar in Minas Gerais and São Paulo. All were framed in the Reidi – special regime of incentives for the development of infrastructure – which suspends for up to five years the collection of PIS/Pasep and Cofins on goods, services and works. The largest investment volume will be destined to Bahia, with five wind farms in the municipality of Casa Nova, operated by Chesf. Together, the plants total 127.5 megawatts of installed capacity. The first of these, Casa Nova B, should go into operation in August 2027 and will be estimated at $ 134 million. The other four wind projects (B, D, and and g) are expected to operate by 2030 and should get around R $ 110 million in tax waiver. Minas Gerais receives the solar project UFV Xangrilá 1, from Antares, with 30 MW of power. The completion is expected to be March 2029 and the approved investment is R $ 28.6 million. Already in the interior of São Paulo, Census and Concremat develop UFV Guararapes, with 2.5 MW, scheduled to operate in March 2026.
The measures aim to accelerate the expansion of Brazil’s clean energy matrix and reduce dependence on fossil and thermoelectric sources, which still press the system in periods of water scarcity. The tax incentive improves the economic viability of projects and encourages private investment in sustainable energy infrastructure. Although Brazil has one of the clearest matrices in the world, the advancement of renewables still faces logistics, financial and regulatory challenges. The extent of benefits by 2030 gives more breath to the sector plan and execute long -term projects. More than an economic advantage, incentives represent a necessary step to meet the country’s climate goals in the Paris Agreement and position themselves as a global leader in the energy transition – a role that will be increasingly charged to Belém.
