Cenário para a análise de viabilidade de migração da Unipampa para o mercado livre de energia elétrica

Abstract

The main objective of this work is to present an analysis of the Brazilian electrical energy free market. Furthermore, this work aims to establish theoretical foundations and to discuss about the migration of consumer units between captive and free markets. As a descriptive essay, this work investigates the viability of the Federal University of Pampa (UNIPAMPA) to migrate to the electrical energy free market. Throughout the studies, concepts related to the Brazilian electrical energy sector, to regulatory issues, to contracting mechanisms and to electricity tariffs are presented in order to define the transition to the free market. The importance of theses analyses is highlighted with focus on medium and high-sized consumers, evidencing the economic benefits of the electricity sector liberalization.
