“…As a result, the basic aim of this reform was a desire to transform the electricity industry from a monopoly into a competitive market, so the electricity could be bought and sold like other commodities and products. Therefore, the main goals for this change in the electricity sector were to inject competition into the generation and supply links of the sector's production chain and to reduce public debt via privatization of the state-owned utilities that dominated the pre-reform sector (Bajay, 2006).…”

O principal objetivo do presente estudo é explicar a dinâmica política e social do processo de mudança na contabilidade gerencial em uma companhia de distribuição elétrica brasileira privatizada, articulando e estudando as interconexões entre os ambientes inter e intra-organizacionais (nível político e econômico; nível do campo organizacional e nível intra-organizacional). Este trabalho adota o estudo de caso interpretativo como método de pesquisa para analisar as mudanças na contabilidade gerencial que aconteceram na companhia estudada durante um período de 8 anos, isto é, entre 2000 (o ano de privatização) até 2007. Este artigo defende que, para compreender essas mudanças na contabilidade gerencial, é importante discutir e entender a dinâmica social e política do ambiente inter e intra-organizacional, já que as práticas e os critérios no nível do campo organizacional, em combinação com a lógica intra-organizacional, formaram o sistema de contabilidade gerencial da companhia. Para explicar as mudanças na organização sob análise, este trabalho fundamentou-se nos construtos propostos por Dillard, Rigsby et al. (2004) para articular e compreender os três níveis do sistema social e político. Esses construtos são baseados nos eixos de tensão de Weber e na teoria de estruturação de Giddens. A análise deste caso indica que aconteceram profundas mudanças nos sistemas gerenciais da companhia após o processo de privatização, particularmente no sistema orçamentário, no sistema de medida de desempenho e na forma de uso da informação contábil gerencial pelos administradores.

“…It is important to remember that in 2001 Brazil's electricity industry experienced a major crisis not only because of the generation structural deficit but mainly due to weather conditions. Due to supply shortage, a 20% rationing program was imposed on approximately three-quarters of the total load [48].…”

A novel multiobjective, multiarea and multistage model to long-term expansion planning of integrated generation and transmission corridors incorporating sustainable energy developing is presented in this paper. The proposed MESEDES model is a ''bottom-up" energy model which considers the electricity generation/transmission value-chain, i.e., power generation alternatives including renewables, nuclear and traditional thermal generation along with transmission corridors. The model decides the optimal location and timing of the electricity generation/transmission abroad the multistage planning horizon. The proposed model considers three objectives belonging to sustainable energy development criteria such as: (a) the minimization of investments and operation costs of power generation, transmission corridors, energy efficiency (demand side management (DSM) programs) considering CO2 capture technologies; (b) minimization of Life-Cycle Greenhouse Gas Emissions (GHG); and (c) maximization of the diversification of electricity generation mix. The proposed model consider aspects of the carbon abatement policy under the CDM-Clean Development Mechanism or European Union Greenhouse Gas Emission Trading Scheme. A case study is used to illustrate the proposed framework.

“…The construction of this pipeline was an important part of the strategy for energy integration of South America. 21 With the change in Federal Government in 2003, 22 the reform process shifted, and instead of continuing to open the market, it focused on strengthening the planning role of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, not only in hydrocarbons policy, but in the energy sector as a whole (Bajay, 2006;Oliveira et al, 2004;Oliveira and Marreco, 2006). Particularly, the Energy Research Company (EPE) was created aiming at technically assisting the Ministry of Mines and Energy in reaching planning decisions.…”
