Strategic Partner Award
ALER recognises ANEEL Presidency of RELOP with the Strategic Partner Award
On the sidelines of the 2nd Energy Conference of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP) held on May 27 and 28, 2025, at the Estoril Congress Center, Cascais, Portugal, the Lusophone Renewable Energy Association (ALER) celebrated its 10th anniversary.
The celebration was marked by the presentation of ALER’s new image and an ALER Awards ceremony.
At this ceremony, ALER recognised the ANEEL Presidency of RELOP with the Strategic Partner Award.
The award was presented by His Excellency the Angolan Secretary of State for Energy, Arlindo Carlos, to Artur Trindade on ANEEL’s behalf.
The President of RELOP/Director General of ANEEL, Sandoval Feitosa sent the following message:
“Dear friends of the Community of Portuguese Speaking Countries (CPLP).
It is with great satisfaction and honor that I receive this award on behalf of RELOP, represented by the Executive Director, Dr. Artur Trindade.
RELOP has always sought to establish strategic partnerships to promote the sharing of knowledge and good regulatory practices on issues of global interest to the electricity sector, precisely the focus of this Conference: Energy Transition, Resilience, Sustainability and Social Inclusion.
In recent years, ANEEL has shared with RELOP some important initiatives developed on these topics, in the search for regulatory improvements that promote and prioritize a just energy transition and a resilient and sustainable electricity system.
In recent years, ANEEL has shared with RELOP some important initiatives developed on these issues, in the search for regulatory improvements that promote and prioritize a just energy transition and a resilient and sustainable electricity system.
The Brazilian electricity matrix is one of the most renewable and diversified on the planet, with 87% renewable sources, compared to 26.6% in the rest of the world.
In the last two decades we have managed to diversify our electricity matrix without losing the predominance of clean energy. We are currently the 6th largest producer of onshore wind and solar photovoltaic energy (centralized and distributed). We still have 50% of our matrix from hydroelectric sources and half of our thermal power plants use biomass. We have also expanded our interconnected electricity transmission system, which should reach 216,000 kilometers by 2027.
The energy transition is also guided by coping with increasingly severe climatic events. Brazil, and the electricity sector in particular, has been strongly impacted by this new reality. In this regard, ANEEL has been working with government bodies and regulated companies to promote system resilience, with a view to guaranteeing the security and reliability of the service.
With these initiatives implemented and shared, with the potential to adapt to the different realities within RELOP, we are proud to act as a strategic partner to promote regulatory improvement and a just energy transition.
Thank you all”
