 Law 9991/2000
Legal and Regulatory Aspects

Law # 9.991, dated 24 July 2000

 R&D: Search for innovations to face the technological and
market challenges of the Brazilian electric sector.
 EE: Demonstrate the importance of EE measures to the
market

Challenges and Opportunities

 Energy Policy: energy efficiency and renewables

 Good mechanisms but lack of better coordination and
policy context
 Evaluation of EE and R&D utility programs need
improvements, transparency and benefits to consumers
(tariffs)
 ANEEL has limited staff and expertise
 Better coordination between the regulator and
Ministries (Mines and Science & Technology)
 IRP is still not a dominant concept in the official Energy
Plans
