Solar Power in Brazil generates less than 0.01 percent of the country's electricity demand.  Nuclear info
  • Brazil has two nuclear reactors generating 3% of its electricity, and a third under construction.
  • Its first commercial nuclear power reactor began operating in 1982.
  • Four more large reactors are proposed to come on line in the 2020s.

  • Hydropower is fueled by water, so it's a clean fuel source, meaning it won't pollute the air like power plants that burn fossil fuels, such as coal or natural gas.
  • Hydroelectric power is a domestic source of energy, allowing each state to produce their own energy without being reliant on international fuel sources.
  • The energy generated through hydropower relies on the water cycle, which is driven by the sun, making it a renewable power source, making it a more reliable and affordable source than fossil fuels that are rapidly being depleted.
  • Impoundment hydropower creates reservoirs that offer a variety of recreational opportunities, notably fishing, swimming, and boating. Most water power installations are required to provide some public access to the reservoir to allow the public to take advantage of these opportunities. 
  • Some hydropower facilities can quickly go from zero power to maximum output. Because hydropower plants can generate power to the grid immediately, they provide essential back-up power during major electricity outages or disruptions.
  • In addition to a sustainable fuel source, hydropower efforts produce a number of benefits, such as flood control, irrigation, and water supply.
