Brazil Power Report Q1 2016 - New Market Study Published

Brazil will continue to offer numerous opp ortunities for power sector investors , despite a worsening of the country's economic recession. We hold a particularly positive outlook for the non-hydro renewables sector and the development of smart grids, underpinned by growing investor interest in the market.

Latest Updates And Structural Trends

A government probe called 'Operation Radioactivity' is investigating allegations of corrupt contracting practices at Brazil's state-owned utility Eletrobras.

The probe is expected to be completed by end-2015 and could result in write-offs and delays to proje cts implementation.
