The document, published in the Official Gazette of the Union through MME Ordinance No. 829, focuses on energy security, the transition to renewable sources and decarbonization . With guidelines that seek to modernize the regulation of the sector, the initiative aims to provide predictability for investors and strengthen the national energy matrix.

Governance and impact for the future of energy in Brazil
The coordination of the Permanent Committee for Regulatory Impact Analysis (CPAIR) is essential to monitor and update the established guidelines. The Undersecretary of Governance of the MME, Dênis Soares, emphasizes that clarity of regulatory priorities allows for more efficient planning and an evidence-based regulatory process. With the new agenda, Brazil advances in the search for a more predictable energy sector, aligned with international best practices and prepared for the challenges of the energy transition .
