The article by Ricardo Martins (CEO of Natural Energia) and Daniel Agnese Ramos (CEO of Natural Recharge) explores how transport electrification can mitigate the effects of renewable generation curtailment in Northeast Brazil — and how Natural Recharge was created to turn this challenge into an opportunity.
Northeast Brazil is now the heart of the country’s energy transition, with more than 35 GW of installed capacity from wind and solar sources. Yet, along with this progress comes a new challenge: part of this clean energy must be “curtailed” due to limited local consumption or transmission constraints — a phenomenon known as curtailment.
In this article, Ricardo Martins and Daniel Agnese analyze how electric mobility can serve as a natural driver of load growth, helping balance the supply and demand of renewable energy across the region.
Natural Recharge, a startup powered by Natural Energia, was born with precisely this purpose: to design and operate the smart charging infrastructure that will capture surplus clean energy and transform it into movement.
More than a business opportunity, this represents an essential step toward a just and sustainable energy transition that integrates innovation, efficiency, and positive impact across the entire renewable energy sector.
