Brazil Regulator Approves 30-Year Concession Extension for Itiquira and Guaporé Hydro Plants

Brazil's electricity regulator Aneel has approved a 30-year extension for the Itiquira and Guaporé hydroelectric plants, contingent on meeting service quality standards. This extends the operational life of existing hydropower assets, supporting Brazil's baseload generation capacity. The decision is a routine regulatory action but reinforces the stability of the country's power supply.
