Um estudo do mercado de energia elétrica.

Abstract

The second change, which took place in 2004, in the model of Brazilian Electric Sector was marked by search for tariff moderateness, universalization and security of energy supply. Part of these objectives was achieved through the creation of the CCEE (Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization) and the two hiring environments, ACL (Free Hiring Environment) and ACR (Regulated Hiring Environment). This change provided the possibility for consumers, framed in certain requirements, to define their energy supplier and price, as well as flexibility of the amount contracted, in order to reduce costs related to energy. This has made the energy market become more competitive. Thus, this work seeks to explain the main guidelines for understanding how electric energy market works, as well as verifying the feasibility of consumer units migrations to Free Hiring Environment.
