ABGD (Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation) announced, on Wednesday (11), its name change to RED (Distributed Energy Resources), during an event held in Brasília (DF), which brought together authorities, company representatives and professionals from the electricity sector.
According to the Association, the change reflects the evolution of the energy market, which has begun to incorporate new technologies and business models beyond conventional distributed generation.
With this, the association will seek to expand its scope of action to other energy solutions, including battery storage systems, electric mobility, demand response, and smart grids.
According to RED, the integration of these technologies can expand consumer participation in the electricity sector, allowing for more coordinated management of energy generation, storage, and consumption.
In this scenario, the organization highlights the role of aggregators and VPPs (virtual power plants), which bring together different resources, such as photovoltaic systems, batteries, and electrical loads, to operate them in an integrated way and contribute to balancing the grid.
New executive leadership of the organization
In addition to the presentation of the new identity, the event marked the celebration of Rose Santos's inauguration as executive president of the association. She assumes the position at a time of expansion of the institutional agenda, which now includes different technologies and applications related to the energy transition.
During the meeting, Rose highlighted that the change reflects not only the evolution of the market, but also the transformation of the role of consumers in the electricity system.
“We are facing a transformation that goes far beyond how we produce energy. The consumer has taken on a leading role, driven by new management and storage technologies. And, coordinated by aggregators and virtual power plants, these resources are now working in favor of the entire system,” he stated.
The executive also highlighted the importance of regulatory advancements to keep pace with the expansion of these technologies.

“The transition to RED reflects exactly this market maturity. Our challenge is to ensure that this evolution occurs with legal certainty, regulatory predictability, and innovation that generates concrete benefits for the whole of society,” he added.
With its new identity, the association aims to strengthen its participation in regulatory debates on the integration of distributed energy resources into the Brazilian electrical system.
According to the organization, this action will also involve expanding dialogue with public authorities, regulatory bodies, and market players, focusing on competitiveness, investments in network infrastructure, and the development of new energy solutions.
