The research report “Brazil Power Sector Outlook 2016” by KuicK Research takes a look at the regulations in place, the structure of production and distribution in the country, competitive landscape and the future scenario. It is a comprehensive text based on the facts extensively laying down the factors responsible for Brazil’s foray into the world’s power map. It also gives a broad view of the exploitation of sources used for power generation, primarily water, giving an insight into the power sector’s reliability and sustainability. It is an inclusive report on how has Brazil been able to transform itself with all the regulations perfectly falling in place, bringing it to the center of the world’s power landscape.

1. Government Reforms Driving Power Sector Expansion In Brazil
Liberal policy framework leading to increasing private sector participation in power sector.
Latin America is one of the fastest growing regions in the world with Brazil one of the rapidly
growing economies. With growing economy it is also experiencing a growing demand of
electricity that is majorly provided by hydropower. It has been 15 years since the sector was
privatized but the market is still highly regulated by the government with a lot of scope at
improvement. A recent research report “Brazil Power Sector Outlook 2016” published by
KuicK Research details the coming of age of the Brazilian power sector and just how the
recent reforms have changed the landscape of the industry. It also takes a look at the future
and the growth opportunities that exist in the country’s power sector.
The report states that almost 70 to 80% of power generated in Brazil comes from hydropower
but complete dependency on rains and a series of blackouts have shifted the government’s
focus towards other renewable sources of energy like solar and wind. The research report
shows that Brazil has already installed wind farms of 1.4 GW and plans to expand this to 5 GW
by 2013 which will increase the share of wind energy in power production up to 5%. Solar
energy is also being tapped with a 1 MW power project already installed with plans to expand
this up to 100 MW. The government has started an integral investment strategy to attract
investors for wind power generation, to which solar will be added later on. Biomass is also
becoming popular as a means of power generation. Smart grid implementation of USD 1
Billion is already underway and is expected to surpass USD 3 Billion by 2020. The meticulous
details of the renewable energy initiatives and the smart grid plans are all given in the report
which also goes on to explain the rationale behind this new wave of reforms in the country.
With investments worth billions of US dollars in the pipeline and the consumption forecast to
grow by more than 500 TWh by 2016, the Brazilian power sector, according to the report,
holds great scope in the future. The government is reforming the sector to ensure that the
investments are secured and can be redeemed. Companies like Suzlon, GE, Gamesa and many
more are increasing their presence in Brazil in anticipation of the rising trend of wind and
solar power.
