  • Abstract
  • The article presents an in-depth analysis of the role of hybrid power plants in the context of the energy transition, highlighting their significant contribution to building a more sustainable and efficient energy future. By examining the various aspects of these plants, from their economic and operational benefits to their ability to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions and diversify the energy matrix, it becomes clear that they play a key role in improving the security and reliability of energy supply. Furthermore, through practical examples of implementation in different regions of Brazil, the text illustrates the potential of hybrid plants to stimulate local and regional development, create jobs, strengthen energy resilience and promote social inclusion.

    However, in order to reap the full benefits of these innovative technologies, it is essential to maintain and even increase investment in research and development. In addition, policies and regulations that encourage the deployment of hybrid power plants need to be promoted, fostering collaboration between governments, industry, academia and civil society. It is through this interdisciplinary collaboration that the challenges of the energy transition can be more effectively addressed and a cleaner, safer and more sustainable future can be built for all. It is clear that hybrid power plants are not only a viable solution to today's energy challenges, but also an opportunity to positively shape the future of energy on a global scale.
