Brazil Power Sector Transition Towards Fast Pace Development & Sustainability: KuicK Research

Delhi, India, July 13, 2012 --(PR.com)-- Brazil, one of the world’s fastest growing economies and the largest power market in South America is pulling up its socks and calling for sustainable development. In the light of its growing power demands, the markets for other sources like natural gas, wind, solar energy are going to expand in addition to the growth of hydro energy, on which most of Brazil’s power depends. Over the coming few years there will be an increase in the inflow of cash for building new transmission and distribution lines and revamping the old ones, presenting a wide variety of opportunities for financial and technical service providers. The Brazilian power segment was privatized in 1997 but even after 15 years the government has an upper hand, which along with many other factors, makes the investors wary. The rampant power theft and violence along with long transmission lines increases the power losses to up to 20% in some regions of Brazil. Despite this and other issues, the sector offers multiple opportunities for growth in the coming years.

The whole power scenario of Brazil has come a long way from being a state controlled underinvested sector to a competitive privatized market. The sector which used to be dominated by government policies and regulations, like in any other developing country, has now become an exciting and dynamic open market.

According to upcoming research report “Brazil Power Sector Outlook 2016” by KuicK Research, the future of Brazil’s power sector will be focused on generation of power from sources other than hydro. By 2020 the consumption is forecasted to grow by more than 50% and it will require sources like wind, solar, biomass to contribute to the supply. Thus, coming years will see heavy investment, change in government’s policies in favor of these sources and auctions that will be dominated by wind and solar. Apart from developing different sources of power generation there are some issues that need to be tackled by the government which will ensure adequate and fair supply of power to all.
