What is your opinion – Brazil’s energy priorities
There is a list of opportunities, not yet explored, that could make a big difference in favor of Brazilians.
Which one do you identify with the most?
1. Transfer consumption from electric showers to off-peak hours
The largest aggregate installed load in Brazil is used coincidentally with peak hours, increasing the costs of the electricity sector. Alternatives that could be considered:
* Time of use rates to stimulate baths during off-peak hours
* Replace instant showers with electric or solar tanks
2. Reduce power theft
The country’s constituted powers should act firmly and proactively to prevent power theft, which represents more than 10% of national electricity production.
3. Eliminate “crony” projects
A list of projects without competitive merit are approved to serve the interests of “friends”.
