This high ranking is explained by the country’s vast hydrological resources. Notably, Brazil ended 2020 second globally in terms of hydropower installed capacity, behind only China. Brazil is also a leader in biomass power generation, ranking second globally and having a biomass power installed capacity of 15,650 MW as of end-2020. In 2021, the government continued to incentivise the expansion and diversification of Brazil’s energy matrix and the country ended 2021 with 190,160 MW of installed capacity, according to the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).
