The difficulties in the implementation of works necessary to ensure the supply of power to the states of the federation within the timeframes established in the concession contracts are a constant concern of the entire electricity sector. In this context, ONS has created and led working groups to develop specific evaluation studies of the conditions of supply and propose solutions to the identified problems, as well as monitor the implementation of these works in the BIPS. These groups also count on the participation of MME, ANEEL, EPE, the State Departments of Energy and Environment and the transmission and distribution companies involved.

The expansion of the discussions with the participation of all public and private institutions involved has allowed the best solution of the problems that hamper or prevent compliance with the schedules of the projects. The ten working groups that worked in 2011 beheld the states of Rio Grande do Sul, São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Espírito Santo Goiás / Brasília, Bahia / Sergipe, Alagoas / Pernambuco / Paraíba / Rio Grande do Norte, Ceará / Piaui and Pará / Maranhão / Tocantins. Through their work, actions and steps to accelerate the environmental licensing and enforcement of the implementation schedule of the works already defined were established. Operational mitigation measures were also defined until the structural works are completed. Such actions represent significant advances for solving the supply to these states, demonstrating the effectiveness of this initiative.
