In recent years, Brazil’s electric power sector has witnessed a restructuring process, marked by the entry and the expansion of the positions of both domestic and foreign investors, especially from the US, China and European countries. This process was further supported by the asset divestment plans of incumbent electric utilities aimed at reducing their indebtedness, which allowed the fast entry of new players at bargain prices. An additional positive impact came from government efforts to increase the country’s generation capacity – above all RES-based capacity – and improve the national power transmission network through public auctions.
