New regulatory models for compensating future distributors

The objective of this project is to propose improvements to the current regulation that incentivize new remuneration models for distributors, suitable for the inevitable insertion of Distributed Energy Resources and, with them, the possible creation of Distributed Service Platforms.

This involves mapping and analyzing international experiences in the regulation of electricity distribution aimed at the insertion of DERs and distributed service platforms, followed by a diagnosis of the current regulation in Brazil vis-à-vis the international experience. With these inputs, and considering an analysis of the trends and impacts of Distributed Energy Resources on the electricity sector (and, in particular, on the electricity distribution activity) and distributed service platforms, an initial proposal for improving the current regulation of energy distribution is constructed. This proposal is then subjected to a qualitative analysis (through SWOT matrices) and a quantitative analysis (with the two simulation models built in the project). The results of these analyses lead to the consolidation of the final version of the proposal for improving distribution regulation.
