Consultancy opportunity about the Energy Sector in Brazil
The British Embassy is commissioning a desk study of Brazil’s regulatory framework and energy market. Analysis will support the Prosperity Fund Energy programme.
As part of the UK Government’s Prosperity Fund Brazil, the British Embassy is commissioning a desk study of Brazil’s regulatory framework and analysis of Brazil’s energy market. This analysis will inform and support the Prosperity Fund Energy programme.
The Prosperity Fund will form a small but integral element of the UK’s total Official Development Assistance (ODA) commitment of 0.7% of GNI. It will primarily be focused on ODA eligible middle income countries, contributing to poverty reduction and complementing DFID’s work in poorer countries. In this way, the fund will contribute towards meeting the new Sustainable Development Goals. ODA spend under the fund will be fully consistent with OECD DAC criteria.
Context
Brazil’s economic growth is reliant on meeting its growing energy demand – by 2030, total energy demand is expected to increase 60% requiring an estimated cumulative investment of £365bn by 2030. However regulatory and technological barriers and a challenging business environment will prevent Brazil from achieving its energy goals.
The British Embassy is developing a programme to support Brazil’s low carbon energy transition. In order to inform the programme, the British Embassy is seeking a consultant to undertake research to collate the current energy regulatory framework in areas detailed below and an assessment of how the current regulation are impacting the development of the sector, including technological barriers and on investment. The report should clearly identify potential areas for reform and the potential impact this can bring to the sector. The report will be in English.
