they are useing fossil fuel for 10% of grid electricity now, which means they are primed to move most of there transportation sector to electric and then go after manufacturing given that 56% of there generation comes from hydro they can add solar and wind,and treat hydro as a battery and grid load balance and scale as big as they want and very good news from an environmental standpoint

Fossil will be reduced a little now too, as State of Roraima is now be connected to Brazilian grid. Before, it had to use thermoelectric and/or buy Venezuela electricity. This week news actually.
