Mercado Livre de Energia: Um estudo sobre o setor e análise das recentes mudanças regulatórias

Abstract

The free energy market is an environment in which consumers are free to choose their electricity supplier, instead of being limited to the local distributor. This contracting modality allows consumers to negotiate prices and conditions directly with generators and energy traders, resulting in potential cost savings. This work proposes to study the free energy market and its recent regulatory changes. Based on a bibliographical review and analysis of official data, topics such as the legislation that regulates the free market, the main players in this market, contracting environments and recent regulatory changes will be addressed. In the end, it is expected to contribute to the understanding of the current scenario of this sector, its regulations and possible changes that may occur in the coming years.
