Energy Transition Legal Framework in Brazil

Energy Transition Legal Framework in Brazil

The publication 'Energy Transition Legal Framework in Brazil' offers a comprehensive overview of Brazil’s legal landscape for energy transition, showcasing the country’s strong reliance on renewable sources, particularly hydroelectric power, and the legal and institutional efforts guiding its shift towards sustainability.

Governed by federal mandates, Brazil’s energy policy is shaped by a network of legislative and regulatory bodies which oversee everything from renewable initiatives to public consultations for new energy projects.

While Brazil’s energy matrix is comparatively clean, this transition prioritises equity and social justice, incorporating laws that support rural energy access, Indigenous rights, and gender equality to ensure the shift benefits all communities. With environmental impact assessments and ongoing legislative discussions around biofuels and offshore wind energy, Brazil seeks to lead in sustainable practices while tackling the socio-economic challenges unique to a high-renewable context.
