What the source says
With nearly 90% of Brazil's electricity already coming from renewables, and curtailment losses estimated at USD $1.1 billion in 2025 alone, the stakes for getting energy storage policy right are significant.
Checked: the figure 1.1 billion USDis stated in this passage. If it does not match, the extraction is wrong and we want to know.
