    Brazil's electricity industry regulator Aneel announced on Tuesday that Brazil's grid-connected solar and wind power generation reached 2,519 megawatts
    in 2020.

    Specifically, in 2020, Brazil accumulated an additional 4,932 MW of installed capacity, exceeding the initial target of 4,112.
    43 MW
    .
    Among them, wind power is 1725.
    8 MW, accounting for 34.
    9%, and solar energy is 793.
    2 MW, accounting for 16%.

    In December alone, Brazil has connected 791.
    2 MW, of which wind power accounts for 549.
    90 MW, accounting for 69.
    37%
