Summary
Energy transition is a global reality. Despite of different power systems countries demands, there are some common principles like sustainability, resilience to climate change, the expansion of renewable energy sources, digitalization, energy storage solutions, the growth of liberalized energy markets, electric mobility and increased grid flexibility.

Brazilian Transmission Asset Owners has been facing many challenges to increase renewable sources in the Brazilian Interconnected System (SIN). For example, Coxilha Negra Wind farm was introduced in the south system, and there are studies in course to improve Casa Nova Wind farm in the Northeast region.
Sobradinho Substation is currently interconnected to Casa Nova II Substation through a 230 kV transmission line and is expected to play a relevant role in accommodating the challenging demands related to the expansion and hybridization of the Casa Nova Power Generation
Complex. Multiple agents have expressed interest in connecting to the Brazilian Interconnected
System (SIN) in this area through floating photovoltaic plants, hybrid photovoltaic facilities, new wind power projects, and data centers, by means of the existing spare transmission capacity or requiring reinforcements and capacity expansion of the connection facilities.
