O Planejamento Integrado de Recursos e a Regulação: A Experiência dos EUA e as Perspectivas no Brasil / The Integrated Resource Planning and Regulation: The U.S. Experience and Prospects in Brazil

Ricardo Henrique dos Santos

This paper analyzes the regulatory perspectives and the institutional challenges for the application of elements and principles of the Integrated Planning of Resources in Brazil. The USA IRP experience is reviewed as a reference for the study. From experience of the Brazilian Electric System evolution and restructuring, currently underway, the conditions for the maintenance of an equilibrium between centralized and decentralized functions and between competition and cooperation are discussed. The tendencies of the new structural and managerial model proposed for the electric sector indicate that the satisfaction of societal energy service needs, through sustainable development, requires more than market mechanisms. Approriate public policies and regulatory instruments may be additionally necessary to achieve this goal. The alternatives and propositions involve regulatory structure, rational use of energy, treatment of the social and environment issues, forms of citizens participation and representation, tariff structure, rent appropriation, supply quality and decentralized sources. Recognizing that the introduction of these proposals depends on political decisions, this work suggests the incorporation of these issues, in a systematic and coherent way, in the planning and regulation framework of the Brazilian Electric System.
