Energy: what is regulation for?
Energy: what is regulation for?
The question seems silly but it occurs frequently for companies and institutions in Brazil.
Clients for whom I provide consultancy, and who wish to expand their activities, are faced with a harsh reality: the difficulty of increasing their contracted demands before their local concessionaire.
The reason is simple. They lack the economic-financial capacity to place the investments needed to reinforce their grid infrastructure,. Of course meeting the increase in the load in their market is one of the regulatory requirements.
I mean, we live in a make-believe world. where those who need to expand, donate the associated investment to their concessionaire. And everything stays as it is!
But there is a price to pay. Brazilian energy, including this condition, is one of the most expensive in the world.
