Evaluation of numbers
Bernardo Marangon, director of Prime Energy (a Shell Group company), believes that the study offers the market a good overview of the current panorama of the national electricity sector.
However, he highlights that, with the arrival and advancement of new energy generation technologies, the trend is towards greater diversification in the representation of companies over time.
“This movement is essential to guarantee a healthier and more competitive market. If we project the scenario for 20 years from now, it is very likely that we will see a much more fragmented and dynamic sector”, he pointed out.
The executive also highlighted that in the last 20 years the concentration was even more pronounced than it is today. “The evolution is clear, but the path ahead promises to be even more transformative,” he stressed.
