Economia e Gestão do Ambiente / Master in Environmental Economics and Management / First and foremost, this research project develops a framework for analyzing electric
system operators ( ESOs ). A deep literature survey is invoked to inventory the
responsibilities of these institutions; then, a graphical model is developed so as any type
of operator can be represented. This framework is useful to create comparisons between
operators and understand the different nature of the responsibilities they are charged
with, in connection with the particularities of their electric sectors. This framework was
developed with the precise aim to benchmark the Brazilian operator against similar
entities, yet it can be used for any country with an at least functionally unbundled ESO.
Canada, Norway and Colombia were chosen due to the high percentage of hyroelectricity
in their electricity generation capacity and production matrixes, a
characteristic that is similar to the Brazilian case. Nevertheless, the study finds that the
Brazilian operator s particularities owe mainly to the uniqueness of the electricity
context, despite a few transaction costs between institutions than can possibly be
reduced.
