Trends - La Niña

Meteorologists have pointed to a scenario of reduced spring rainfall in Brazzil (in relation to the historical average) for the regions where important reservoirs of the country's hydroelectric power plants are located and which account for the majority of energy generation.

It is equivalent to saying that the level of the dams could drop significantly, changing the profile that we have become accustomed to, in recent times, of formidable supply.

It would be reasonable to assume that there will be an important change in the electricity market - mainly on the supply side.

Is your company prepared for this scenario? 4 questions need to be faced!

1. The contracted volume of energy

Is it closed for a good future or will new contracts have to be signed?

2. Power prices

Potentially prices will rise. Can you accommodate them in the medium-term business plan?

3. Risk mitigation

What are the alternatives to face this scenario competitively?

4. Decision-making process

Who will be responsible for dealing with this scenario, looking for interesting and convenient solutions?

From my own experience, providing consultancy for companies and institutions, I can assure you that seeking these 4 (quality) answers is a decisive step for this scenario to be the stage for a competitive advantage in your case!
