Watch this exclusive webinar tailored for innovators, brought to you by Energy Systems Catapult in partnership with Beta-i, and backed by UK government. The webinar provides detailed insights into the INES Challenge Call, which aims to bridge UK-based innovators with vertically integrated electricity utilities in Brazil.

This collaboration aims to tackle critical challenges in the Brazilian energy sector, particularly those posed by extreme weather events, such as equipment defects and transmission line tower collapses, and the effects of the proliferation of Distributed Generation (DG) which have caused harmful impacts on the grid.

By watching this webinar, you’ll receive:

• a comprehensive introduction to key players in the Brazilian energy sector, including the National Energy Policy Council (CNPE), the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL);
• insights into the Brazilian electricity contracting environments, with a clear differentiation between the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) and the Free Contracting Environment (ACL);
• an overview of the ongoing energy transition in Brazil and its implications for the electricity sector;
• a deep dive into the rising frequency of extreme weather events and their impact on energy infrastructure;
• an exploration of the landscape of regulated research and development in Brazil.

This webinar is an essential opportunity for innovators seeking to understand the Brazilian energy market and engage in transformative solutions that address pressing challenges in the sector.
