In order to contribute to the discussion of legal, technical and regulatory issues in the electric power sector of the country, Rio de Janeiro Law School (FGV DIREITO RIO) is offering the special course Energia Elétrica: Aspectos Jurídicos e Regulatórios do Setor? (Electric Power: Legal and Regulatory Aspects of the Sector). Coordinated by Professor Fábio Amorim, the initiative brings together renowned professionals who work or have worked in the main regulators and companies in the sector.In 2012, the Brazilian electric sector has reached the astonishing mark of 100,000 edited legal acts, including laws, decrees, ordinances, resolutions, among others, from various agencies. This myriad of norms and institutions is a huge challenge for those seeking to work in this field, especially for Law professionals.
