Brazil: 5 themes to turn around the current mess
Brazil: 5 themes to turn around the current mess
Brazil is a laggard in USD/MWh of electricity among the BRICS,. 5 themes should be addressed ASAP!
1. Default
The CCEE (official power clearinghouse) must pay more than a billion USD debt to the market. Or what?
2. Power theft
We have in Brazil - for many years - more than 10% of electricity theft that the "others" pay
3. Demand response
Brazil does not have this program in real life. Only on paper. A waste of opportunity.
4) Duck curve
The duck curve and its associated cost did not enter the agenda of the electricity sector. The tendency is just bearing its costs.
5) Responsibility
All costs of errors and mismanagement are transferred to the rate payers. It's easier, simpler and more comfortable for our leaders in the electricity sector but very expensive for Brazilians
