Members meeting in Brazil
Some 20 senior representatives of our corporate members met in Brazil last week. The topics discussed included the development of hydropower in the Amazon region, the use of the Â鶹ÊÓƵ Sustainability Protocol in the early stages of project development, and the need to work closely with the agencies involved in the preparation of new projects.
Our team introduced the activities of the current working groups and ways in which members can get more involved in our activities. Following the briefing in Rio de Janeiro, we held several meetings with heads of member organisations; these included: CEMIG, COPEL, Eletrobras, Eletronorte, Eletrosul, Furnas, Light, Norte Energia and Tractebel Energia.
Additional meetings included the national Energy Research Office (EPE) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy.
