Lais Nascimento Cardoso Cruz, Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais: “Most important sector in Brazil for attracting financing is nuclear energy”
Brazil’s National Energy Plan to 2050 envisages expanding nuclear generation by 8–10 GW. According to the authorities, this is expected to ensure a stable and reliable electricity supply for the population. One of the solutions under consideration is floating nuclear power plants, which Brazil is negotiating to acquire from Russia.
What effect could this cooperation have on the transformation of the republic’s energy sector? What opportunities for renewable energy projects are opened up by the country’s cooperation with BRICS partners?
Lais Nascimento Cardoso Cruz, Professor at the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, shared her insights on this topic in BRICSterview.
