Deregulated power prices (Brazil)

Deregulated power prices 

The offer of firm electricity prices for future delivery in Brazil, continues to be very attractive.

And the most impressive thing is the month-to-month decline. In 12 months it was more than 40%.

Reservoirs - hydroelectric plants (the country's most important source) are full and the country's power demand "well-behaved" characterize the foundations of this situation.

This is a systemic trend that is even worrying because, for suppliers, the price is below the economic equilibrium reference considering the amortization of investments in generation plants.

A scenario that requires careful evaluation.
