BNDES prices curtailment risk into new renewable loans, adjusts existing portfolio

Brazil's state development bank BNDES, the largest financier of renewable projects, has begun pricing curtailment—forced output cuts of wind and solar plants—into new loan terms and is taking measures to mitigate its impact on existing loans. This reflects a structural shift in Brazil's power market where grid constraints and oversupply are eroding project revenues, potentially dampening new investment appetite. The move signals growing financial-sector recognition of curtailment as a material credit risk.
