Webinar discusses power sector reform during COVID-19 pandemic
The aim of the meeting is to explore the sector’s global transformations and their impacts on Brazil, as well as decentralization and digitalization processes, including changes imposed by the COVID-19 crisis, such as social distancing measures, which have reduced power demand and caused severe income and job losses.

The speakers will be Marisete Dadald, the Mining and Energy Ministry’s executive secretary; Sandoval de Araújo Feitosa, director of the National Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL); and Senator Marcos Rogério. The event, called “Power Sector Reform and Regulation During the COVID-19 Pandemic,” will be moderated by Joisa Dutra, the director of FGV CERI and coordinator of FGV EPGE’s Professional Master’s Program.
