The document summarizes Brazil's energy crisis in 2001-2002 and the government's response. Key points: - Brazil experienced its most serious energy crisis in decades due to low hydroelectric reservoir levels. Rationing was needed to conserve 20-25% of typical energy consumption for 8 months. - The government implemented a quota system rather than rolling blackouts, assigning consumption targets to customers based on history to incentivize reductions. - The quota system was effective, achieving a 26 TWh reduction in energy use. Residential consumption habits changed permanently. The economic impact was mitigated through the rationing scheme.

Energy Efficiency policy by IRFAN ANSARI
Energy efficiency policies aim to reduce the amount of energy required to provide products and services. The document discusses global trends in energy efficiency, including that energy intensity is generally higher in developing regions. It also outlines policies and trends in different sectors, and recommendations to improve energy efficiency through various policy instruments. Key recommendations include using market-based approaches and economic incentives, better informing consumers, implementing innovative financing tools, and enforcing regulations while also addressing behaviors.

This document discusses rate design pathways for electricity providers to establish fair utility rates for solar PV customers in a distributed energy age. It proposes an integrated cost recovery approach for utilities based on three interrelated pricing approaches: 1) Allowing utilities to recover their minimum necessary customer-related fixed costs through a fixed charge. 2) Classifying utility costs as demand, energy, or customer-related and ensuring solar customers pay their fair share of these costs. 3) Considering utility rate cases like We Energies' proposal to increase fixed charges for solar customers cautiously to avoid over-recovery of costs or discouraging solar adoption.
Rate Designs for Changing Times
The utility landscape is dynamic. Some pundits claim that traditional utility regulation is becoming obsolete. Others are calling for a complete overhaul of utility ratemaking as we know it; distributed energy resources, technology advancements and societal trends are changing the way utilities function. In such turbulent times, how can utilities manage their financials through rate structures? How can utilities bridge the span between the rate and regulatory frameworks of yesterday and tomorrow? One way to do so is to revisit the design of rate offerings available to all utility customers and to residential customers in particular.
Steve Avary - Electricity Utility 2 point 0 Paper
The document discusses challenges facing electric utilities in balancing financial metrics with stakeholder objectives like conservation and renewable integration. Innovation is critical but limited by regulatory disincentives as efficiency benefits customers rather than utilities. New performance models like RIIO in the UK and the Iowa model provide incentives for outputs. Technologies like batteries and smart grids have reduced peak demand but require significant investment. Distributed generation also threatens the traditional utility model by enabling customer independence and reducing load growth. New policies are needed to absorb higher costs and share risks between utilities and customers.
Big Bet On Solar PV
The document discusses how promoting solar energy can create jobs and free America from foreign oil dependence. It argues that a pathway to changing the electricity mix is to focus on customer technologies like solar and energy efficiency in the short term, and central station renewables like wind and biomass in the mid-term. Political will is needed as the catalyst to drive these changes through government mandates and by converting positive public opinion into political force.

The Spanish economic support system for electricity from renewable energy sources
has had a good reputation due to its good results in terms of number of new plants,
installed megawatts, industrial development, etc. Nevertheless, in the last years we
have assisted to major and sudden legislative changes motivated by different events
that have put under discussion the system sustainability. After describing the main
green electricity support systems available and the benefits of introducing renewable
energies in the electricity market, this paper analyses the causes of the “boom and
burst” of the Spanish support mechanisms and the main lessons learned.
Smart Metering POV
Utilities must embrace a fresh approach to managing peak demand and system security through smart metering. This includes motivating consumers to conserve energy and shift usage away from peak times, justifying smart meter investments through broader benefits, and increasing market transparency. Most utility executives favor innovative smart metering programs to meet priorities while realizing additional benefits. Utilities must leverage smart meter investments to support demand response, grid planning, reliability, and new services.
Australian Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management Activities
Australian Energy Efficiency and Demand Side Management ActivitiesIEA DSM Implementing Agreement (IA)
Australia has abundant coal and gas resources but is becoming a net importer of liquid fuels. Greenhouse gas emissions are high per capita due to the energy-intensive economy. Key programs to improve energy efficiency include the National Framework for Energy Efficiency, Energy Efficiency Opportunities Act, and Minimum Energy Performance Standards. Smart metering and continued electricity market reforms aim to enable time-varying pricing and demand-side management, but regulators may not allow innovative tariffs. While on track to meet short-term climate targets, further energy efficiency and demand-side management policies are still needed to reduce emissions beyond 2010.Recommended

With Smart Grids in the foreseeable future, Demand-Side Management (DSM) is on the cusp of a revolution that will forever alter the way that homes and businesses use electricity. To add to the positive DSM buzz, budgets to facilitate Smart Grid planning and implementation are on the rise, according to a recent March survey by Microsoft. In the survey, 73 percent of utility professionals and executives surveyed said budgets for these efforts are on the rise. Governments and utilities have long sought to improve DSM through conservation and load management programs. To gain insight into this transformation, Zpryme examined the level of investment by utilities in DSM over the past 5 years while acknowledging their sales (MWh) and revenue.Demand side management

Green energy bubbles
Professor Vittorio Chiesa believes that without incentives, renewable energies are not economically sustainable due to their higher costs compared to conventional energy sources. He warns that incentive schemes need to gradually decrease as technologies advance and costs reduce. Abrupt changes can damage industries, as seen in Spain's solar sector. While a green energy bubble is possible if incentives suddenly stopped worldwide, environmental issues will likely support green energy growth. Promoting both a variety of technologies and distributed generation can help avoid bubbles. Energy efficiency is also important but undervalued currently. Renewable energy sectors and energy efficiency components industries seem promising for the future provided incentive schemes continue and energy efficiency priorities increase.

Solar-Ops-Report-2014-ver5-1
This document discusses renewable energy tariffs as an option for large energy customers to access renewable power. Renewable energy tariffs allow key account customers to pay a premium on their electricity bill to support the development of new utility-owned or third-party renewable energy projects. The tariffs provide benefits for utilities, customers, and society. They expand access to renewable energy, promote economic development, minimize ratepayer impacts, and ensure the renewable power purchased is "additional", meaning it directly displaces non-renewable generation. The document examines the characteristics of existing renewable energy tariff programs, such as resource eligibility, customer choice, and policies to ensure additionality. Case studies of programs in North Carolina and Virginia are provided.

The document summarizes the energy crisis in Brazil, discussing:
I. What is happening - imminent electric rationing accepted due to low reservoir levels.
II. How we got here - a complex mix of factors including depleted reservoirs over years and lack of adequate planning. The emergency plan to expand gas plants partly failed due to issues between the gas and electric sectors.
III. Expected crisis impacts - rationing may cut load 15-20% for 9 months, costing $10-40 billion. No one knows the exact macroeconomic impact.
IV. Proposed solutions - leverage existing market mechanisms, signal scarcity, and foster demand management to minimize impacts. Further reforms are still needed for a sustainable solution.

Ed Power Sector Brazil
This document provides an overview and summary of power sector reform in Brazil. It discusses the key reforms and accomplishments in Brazil including privatizing generation and distribution assets, increasing generation capacity, improving quality of service, and managing a large rationing program. It also notes challenges that remained including a lack of long-term planning, interrupted privatization, and insufficient investments to avoid rationing. Overall reform was an ongoing process with both successes and remaining challenges to further improve the power sector.
Minerva 3 Nov 09
Brazil has a large power system heavily dependent on hydroelectricity. Starting in the late 1990s, the power sector underwent major reforms introducing competition, privatization, and cost-recovery tariffs. Over 15 years, investments and private capital increased while quality of service improved, showing the reforms have been successful overall despite some challenges. However, licensing new hydro plants has become difficult due to lengthy evaluation processes and lack of coordination between environmental and energy goals. Better integration of power planning and demand side management could help make the most of Brazil's hydro resources to ensure a sustainable and reliable energy future.

However, there is still potential to do more with new technologies and tariff structures that provide stronger price signals to customers. Adopting critical peak pricing and real-time pricing could help shift more load away from peak times. Overall, DR presents an opportunity for Brazil to further reduce costs and increase reliability of its power system.
FEF STATEMENT ON THE PRESIDENT’S REQUEST FOR EMERGENCY POWER FROM CONGRESS: ...
The document discusses the Foundation for Economic Freedom's response to the Philippine government's request for emergency powers from Congress to address an impending power shortage. The FEF cautions against quick fixes that impose long-term costs on consumers. Instead, it supports short-term solutions already being implemented through programs like the Interruptible Load Program and better utilization of existing generation assets. The FEF argues for avoiding expensive contracts for intermittent solar and wind power, and advocates market-based solutions and energy conservation to help address the short-term supply issue.
Creating A Vibrant Energy Market In Brazil No Bail Outs
The document discusses Brazil's energy crisis and compares it to California's energy crisis. While the crises had some surface level similarities, Brazil handled it very differently by implementing energy rationing quotas rather than rolling blackouts. The document argues that Brazil needs to strengthen property rights and contract enforcement to create a stable environment that encourages new investment in energy infrastructure and capacity expansion. Fully implementing a competitive electricity market model and aligning prices with market realities are also seen as important steps for Brazil.

E 22 P8 Energy The California Crisis
The document summarizes the California energy crisis and Enron's collapse, discussing whether deregulation can be blamed. It focuses on the differences between California and Brazil's deregulation models, noting that California's was "botched" while Brazil's is a work in progress. It concludes that deregulation itself did not cause the problems, and that there are successful deregulated markets, so Brazil can learn from both successes and failures.
Argentina & Brazil - Thailand
The document discusses the implementation of energy markets in Argentina and Brazil, with the goal of introducing competition. It provides an overview of the two countries' electric sectors and natural gas industries. The key steps taken were creating new agencies, establishing competitive wholesale markets with long-term contracts and spot pricing, and implementing regulatory reforms while facilitating privatization through transitional measures to reduce risks and costs. Lessons learned include the need for strong government support and recognizing that creating competitive markets is a complex long-term process.
1312 CSIRO Future Grid Forum - Summary of 2050 Scenarios
The document discusses four potential scenarios for Australia's electricity system in 2050 developed by the Future Grid Forum. The scenarios are: 1) Central Control, where utilities centrally control consumer demand; 2) Rise of the Prosumer, where consumers have more choice to generate and trade electricity; 3) Leaving the Grid, where about a third of consumers fully disconnect from the grid; and 4) Renewables Thrive, where renewables and battery storage play a large role across the system. Key uncertainties around consumer choice, technology developments, and policy will influence which scenario or combination of scenarios emerges.
Brazil and Argentina - Ontario (Ca) S
The document summarizes lessons learned from Brazil's implementation of energy market reforms. It describes Brazil's efforts to introduce competition in the electricity sector through the creation of a wholesale market (MAE) and independent system operator (ONS). While progress was made, implementation has moved more slowly than planned with generation privatization stalled and few customers choosing the free market. Reasons given include election delays, lack of leadership coordinating reforms, and lack of trust in market forces from the new government.
ena_future_network_cost_august_2015
This document discusses challenges to traditional approaches for recovering the costs of electricity and gas network investments over time due to changing market conditions. It notes that current regulatory approaches presume future consumers will pay for a substantial portion of capital costs from investments made today, but declining demand, new technologies, and other changes make this less certain. Continuing the current approach risks a potential "regulatory failure". The document examines options for more flexible depreciation approaches to address this issue and better protect consumers from future risks. It argues there is an opportunity now to lower long-term risks for consumers by reforming depreciation policies.
JEAP Article - Network depreciation and energy disruption
The document discusses challenges facing traditional approaches to regulating energy networks due to changing market conditions. Specifically:
1. Current regulation spreads capital costs of long-lived network assets over 30-50 years, assuming future consumers will pay, but falling demand, new technologies, and costs make this presumption less certain.
2. Evolving technologies like rooftop solar and battery storage, as well as efficiency gains, are lowering energy demand in contrast to past steady growth. This challenges cost recovery approaches set for stable conditions.
3. Network businesses lack normal commercial risk management tools to address changing conditions, like flexible pricing or bringing forward depreciation of at-risk assets. More flexible regulatory approaches may better serve consumers long

Diversifying Into Renewable Energy: Challenges And Opportunities
The energy transition is the move away from fossil fuels towards renewable and sustainable forms of production and generation, in combination with increasing decarbonization (net zero) and electrification. The motivations behind the energy transition are primarily political, environmental, and increasingly, financial. Mostly, it is driven by Governments and international bodies (like the EU, which also sees renewables to increase its’ energy independence) through goal setting, provision of incentives, and legislation such as the US’s Inflation Reduction Act.
The push for decarbonization and ESG is also now being championed by large banks and financial institutions like Barclays Bank, who recently announced that it had tightened its financing rules and abandoned financing for oil exploration altogether. Over the last 12-months or so, geopolitics has played an ever-greater role in shaping the energy industry and the energy transition, as the fall-out from the Russia-Ukraine war has interfered with the energy transition agenda, resulting in soaring power and natural gas prices. This has wrought havoc with consumers and suppliers alike and stalled, or temporarily reversed, certain net zero initiatives, and encouraged the specter of market intervention.
EWEB Electricity - Applied Reinventing Fire Sustainable Development Theories_...
This document summarizes strategies for EWEB, Eugene's electricity provider, to transition to a more distributed and renewable electricity system as outlined in the book Reinventing Fire. It discusses implementing distributed generation through solar incentives and potentially a feed-in tariff. It also discusses establishing microgrids, time-of-use billing to shift demand, improving customer education and bills to encourage conservation, and using the Green Power grant fund to increase solar incentives. The overall goal is to increase distributed renewable energy, reduce risks from outages, and lower costs and environmental impacts.
Big Bet on Solar Power
The document discusses accelerating the adoption of solar energy in the United States to reduce reliance on natural gas for electricity generation. It argues that solar photovoltaics have the potential to significantly displace natural gas if costs can be reduced through manufacturing improvements, economies of scale, and limited public subsidies over 10 years. With the right policies and market conditions, solar could achieve cost parity with retail electricity and create many local jobs in manufacturing and installation. Political will is needed to pass mandates and use public benefits to justify initial cost reductions that drive the solar industry to self-sufficiency.
Zaragoza Luiz Maurer
Brazil relies heavily on hydropower but faces growing conflicts over water usage. While Brazil has abundant water resources overall, they are poorly distributed and water is stressed in some large, populated areas. Recent reforms have established a new framework for integrated water and energy planning at the basin level to better account for multiple water uses. However, fully implementing this framework remains a challenge as the power sector must now share influence and work through new institutions. Improved coordination mechanisms are still needed to effectively resolve disputes over water allocation among competing uses like energy, agriculture, and municipal water supply.
Capgemini ses - smart grid operational services - leveraging technology to ...
The document discusses the vision for transforming electric transmission and distribution (T&D) systems into "smart grids" through the use of new technologies. It outlines drivers for change such as aging infrastructure, climate change, customer expectations, and regulatory pressures. The vision is for a grid that can autonomously restore power, support distributed energy resources, provide power quality, and operate with lower costs. This will require upgrading grid hardware with sensors, analyzing collected data in real-time and non-real-time, monitoring and managing the grid, and rebuilding infrastructure to allow bi-directional power flows. The transformation is an evolution that will take years or decades to fully implement across utility service territories.
Myths and Facts about Germany's Energy Transition
The document summarizes myths and facts about renewable energy and Germany's "Energy Transition". Some of the key myths addressed include:
1) Renewable energy is to blame for rising electricity prices. The facts show only 1/3 of price increases since 2000 are due to renewables, while most are from conventional generation and utility profits.
2) The high cost of renewables is driving up the EEG surcharge. However, subsidies have fallen for solar and wind, and surcharges are inflated by exemptions for industry and subsidies lowering wholesale prices.
3) The energy transition will cause economic difficulties. But renewable investment has created jobs and opportunities in manufacturing, and falling fossil fuel imports benefit the economy.
Capgemini_Smart Meter POV_2009
All North American utilities will adopt smart metering and advanced metering infrastructure (AMI) to some degree in the near future. While some utilities will take a minimal approach, more visionary companies will use smart metering as an opportunity to positively influence their future. Most utilities favor taking the latter, more innovative approach based on programs seen throughout North America. Implementing smart metering programs presents both business strategy challenges and technology issues for utilities to navigate. Utilities that view smart metering solely as a means to improve revenue management are missing opportunities, as effective programs leverage investments to support broader benefits and market efficiency. Partnerships will be key to ensuring smart metering initiatives succeed in meeting utilities' goals.
