This dataset presents the amount of electrical energy injected into the grid by Self-Consumption Production Units (UPACs), organized by state and municipality.
Data relating to registered UPACs.
The energy injected into the grid is the energy produced minus the energy self-consumed at the installation.
It provides a detailed view of the contribution of these units to the electrical system, allowing for the evaluation of the role of self-consumption in the energy transition and the increase in distributed renewable production.
Through this data, it is possible to identify production patterns, monitor the penetration of UPACs in different regions, and support the planning of energy networks and communities.
Use cases:
- Evaluate the energy injected into the grid by UPACs in different geographic areas.
- Support the analysis of local energy balances for energy communities and collective self-consumption projects.
- Study the impact of self-consumption on the electrical grid and the integration of renewable energies.
- Assist in the planning of expansion and strengthening of infrastructure for better integration of distributed production.
Update frequency: monthly
Variables included:
Date — Date of the information
District — Name of the district where the production facility is located
Municipality — Name of the municipality corresponding to the production facility
Voltage Level — Electrical voltage level at the connection point of the facility (e.g., Low Voltage, Medium Voltage), indicating the stage of connection of the UPAC to the grid.
Installed Power kW — Sum of the installed electrical power of the production units (in kilowatts), reflecting the maximum generation capacity of the UPACs.
Number of Installations — Number of Self-Consumption Production Units (UPACs).
Energy Injected kWh — Total amount of electrical energy injected into the public grid by the UPACs (in kilowatt-hours).
