Coordination can bring value to Brazil

AI Summary

Brazil is facing costly issues due to electrical curtailment and steep ramp rates, but the absence of regulation for virtual power plants (VPPs) limits the integration and coordination of distributed energy resources, which could support Brazil's transition away from expensive thermal generation.

More curtailment and steeper ramp rates are proving costly in Brazil, but a lack of regulation for virtual power plants (VPPs) is limiting the potential for distributed assets to smooth out the demand curve. Henrique Ribeiro from S&P Global explains how VPPs could better support Brazil’s transition while reducing reliance on expensive thermal generators.
