Electric Energy and the "others"
Electric Energy and the "others"
We have in Brazil a perverse but widely accepted characteristic: transferring errors - especially those in the public sector - to the "others". Three emblematic and well-known examples.
Blackout Amapá
The government will give an exemption from the electric bill to the residents of Amapá, passing it on to all the "others" payers of their bills.
The correct approach would be for those responsible who are in charge of the operation and inspection of the electricity sector to pay. For they were the ones who failed.
Power theft
Theft has been a phenomenon observed for many decades (double digit). Who bears the theft are the "others" payers of their bills.
Default by the official power clearinghouse
In place of the institution honoring its commitments, it took the decision to pass on the cost of its default to the "others" registered agents.
What is missing is what happens in the civilized places of the world. Statutory shareholders, directors and board members held responsible. They are the ones who should ensure that, in the event of misconduct, organizations they command pay for the damage caused and not the "others".

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
