Petrobras is responsible for over 90% of the oil output, 59% of which comes from pre-salt production. Renewables account for 78% of power generation, 55% of which is hydro. Micro and mini distributed PV generation reached 17 GW end-2022. Crude oil exports have tripled since 2013. Gasoline and diesel prices are quite below the average regional levels.
