Also, the weather has a huge influence in various sectors at this market. Daily weather conditions impacting the efficiency of the generation of hydro-power and wind.
Another worrying factor is the uncontrolled population growth, extensive use of soil and of natural resources, put more in evidence the energy issue on the world. About 90% of energy generated in Brazil comes from hydroelectric. This makes dry season and phenomena such as La Niña affect directly the generation of energy.
Thus, the cost of energy (MWh) is quite volatile, the price changes above 400% in just one week. This volatility is due to large spatial and temporal distribution of rainfall that tends to be more unstable during certain periods of the year and during the occurrence of certain large scale phenomena.
These factors made SOMAR create a specific consulting for this segment. The main objective is to provide qualified meteorological data to advise our clients accurately to avoid waste.
