Coverage · Brazil
The data works. The licence question is what is still open.
Brazil is the largest verified adapter on the site by row count, and the clearest example of a distinction this whole product depends on: an adapter being implemented and correct is not the same as being cleared to sell. ANEEL's SIGA register is that case.
What SIGA is
SIGA — ANEEL's Sistema de Informações de Geração — is the Brazilian electricity regulator's public register of generation projects, covering plants from planning through operation across every technology the regulator licenses. Our adapter reads it daily and is live-schema verified across 25,041 projects in that snapshot, which makes it the deepest single-source dataset on this site by count.
It sits squarely in the power and grid sector class, alongside GB's TEC register and the US EIA-860M adapter — all three are, structurally, connection or generation registers rather than procurement or contracting sources, which is why the same "package-level detail is not yet there" limitation applies across all three geographies rather than being a Brazil-specific gap.
Why it is blocked on licence, not on quality
SIGA is published under an open data licence, and specifically an ODbL-style share-alike term. Before a fact derived from it can sit inside paid customer storage, the product boundary that licence implies — what can be resold, in what form, alongside what else — has to be settled. That is a legal review, not an engineering one, and it is the reason Brazil is marked "adapter ready, legal gate" on the coverage table rather than "source pending" the way Germany, the UAE and Saudi Arabia are.
Share-alike terms typically require that a derived product remain available under compatible terms rather than being locked behind a paywall with no reciprocal openness — which is exactly the kind of condition a commercial product boundary has to be designed around deliberately, not discovered after the fact once paying customers already depend on the data.
What happens after the gate clears
Resolving the ODbL question does not itself make Brazil paid-ready. It removes the first of several conditions; a fresh production import, seven consecutive daily canaries, and a published accuracy scorecard still have to follow, exactly as for any other geography. No adapter, however large, is represented as customer-ready before all of them pass — a large verified snapshot is a necessary condition here, never a sufficient one.
Questions people ask about Brazil specifically
If the adapter works, why can’t I buy Brazil coverage yet?
Because working and licensed to resell are different questions. ANEEL SIGA is published under an open licence, and the specific terms of that licence — the ODbL product boundary — have to be resolved before facts drawn from it can enter customer storage, regardless of how complete the data already is.
How large is the SIGA dataset?
The adapter is live-schema verified across 25,041 projects in the daily snapshot. That is a source-side count, not a claim about how many of those projects currently have full package-level detail mapped.
What happens once the ODbL question is resolved?
Brazil moves through the same remaining steps as every other geography: a fresh production import, seven consecutive daily canaries, and an independent scorecard, before checkout opens. The licence gate is the first of several, not the only one.
