Wind energy in the south, solar in the northeast - both closer to major population centers.

You know, there are plenty of articles just like this one criticizing the construction of wind farms in the NE (there, because the South is way too small to have a sizeable project).

There aren't enough articles criticizing Brazilian solar farms. That's probably because they are expensive. As they get cheap enough to turn a profit, you can be sure the articles will appear.

And, perhaps more importantly, nuclear energy in the coast, which Brazil is already investing heavily in. IIRC, our third nuclear facility is set to open in 2018.
