For the first time in history, the production cost of renewables is lower than that of fossil fuels, Kaiserwetter, a leader in renewable energy asset management, can today reveal. Fossil fuels presented costs between US$ 49 and US$ 174 per MWh in the G20 countries during 2017, while renewable energy projects were between US$ 35 and US$ 54. The latest photovoltaic energy auctions in Dubai, Mexico, Chile, Abu Dhabi or Saudi Arabia, and onshore wind energy in Brazil, Canada, India or Morocco in 2017 suggests that the standard cost of energy can be reduced to US$ 30 per MWh from 2018.

After being caught up in major corruption scandals and suffering from what some have claimed was its worst economic downturn in 100-years, Brazil has pulled itself back from the brink. The economy commenced growing again in 2017 with gross domestic product (GDP) expanding by 1 percent and 2018 GDP growth forecast by the International Monetary Fund (IMF) to be 2.3%. One of the key drivers of Brazil’s improving economic outlook are Brasilia’s plans to launch what could become the biggest oil boom in Latin American history.
