Edvaldo Santana

Edvaldo Santana is a former director of the Brazilian National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), known for his critical views on the country's energy subsidy policies. He has highlighted how the current subsidy framework disproportionately impacts consumers who do not benefit from these financial aids, leading to an unfair tariff model. Santana argues that the lack of coherent energy policy and regulation, heavily influenced by local interests in Congress, undermines the reliability of Brazil's electric system and poses challenges for the integration of renewable energy sources.
