As renewable energy takes on a larger share of generation, grid operators are under pressure to keep systems reliable, flexible and fair. The growth of wind, solar and distributed generation, along with soaring demand from data centers and hydrogen production, is reshaping how power is delivered and managed.

This session will draw on Brazil’s energy transition to examine four key areas: Storage as a tool for flexibility, integration of high-demand consumers, the rise of distributed generation and equitable grid access. Speakers will provide regulatory, technical and market perspectives on adapting to volatility, managing new loads and modernizing grid operations. The discussion will further outline how the challenges of renewable integration can be turned into opportunities for resilience, efficiency and sustainable growth.
