How much will the Brazilian energy crisis cost?
Companies or institutions, face an important challenge: valuing the cost of the crisis.
For now, this is translated in the "red flag". It is an increase in power rates. It's a known cost!
What will the Government do if the situation becomes more acute? Little or nothing is known because the prevailing official signal is that it is mainly about dispatching (even more so) thermal power plants (way more expensive than the hydro ones).
The message is very clear: let each one do their simulations. And prepare in advance to avoid the daunting costs of a challenging rationing scenario.
