The estimate presented by the executive includes new investments in centralized generation (R$ 182 billion), in transmission (R$ 90 billion) and in distributed generation (R$ 93 billion). “Brazil will be a construction site for the electricity sector by 2030”, he guaranteed.
Pepitone highlighted that, since the creation of ANEEL, in 1996, the Brazilian electricity sector has already received investments in excess of R$ 930 billion.
