Electricity consumption in Brazil was forecast to reach ***** terawatt-hours in 2023, an increase of roughly two percent in comparison to the previous year. Consumption declined in 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in the country. In the coming decade, Brazil's electricity consumption is expected to continuously increase, surpassing *** terawatt hours by 2027.

This dataset contains monthly electric energy consumption data in Brazil, provided by the Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE) — a public institution under the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME).

The dataset is updated monthly and consolidates information from various agents through the SAM (Energy Market Monitoring System) and the COPAM (Permanent Commission for Market Analysis and Monitoring). It is a key source for monitoring the evolution of Brazil’s electricity consumption across different sectors and regions.
