(MENAFNEditorial)
Brazil's power sector continues to offer significant investment opportunities due to its unmatched size government's commitment to power capacity expansion and large prospective in renewables and natural gas-fired thermal sectors. However the country's potential is hindered by its continued depend ence on unreliable hydroelectricity weak infrastructure and regulatory interjections. In addition Brazil's darkening macroeconomic trajectory has weighed heavily on our forecast for long-term power consumptio n with a possible increase in retail electricity prices in 2015 posing additional downside risk .
Brazil's power sector will continue to grow in the coming years - driven by government commitment to power supply expansion power mix diversification needs and vast untapped potential for renewables and natural-gas fired power generation. We expect total power generation in the country to grow by an annual average rate of 2.09% over our 10-year forecast period rising from 535TWh in 2014 to 698TWh in 2023. Power generating capacity will also grow steadily expanding by 3.64% annually on average over the same period primarily as a result of a strong pipeline of hydropower and wind projects.

Government's power auctions in 2014 have secured contracts for vast capacity additions in the coming years and we expect investor interest to remain strong in 2015. Nevertheless we have downwardly revised our forecast for power consumption in the country over the next decade due to a deterioration of Brazil's macroeconomic perspective. We now forecast total power consumption to grow by annual average rate of 2.31% (it was 3.92% last quarter) between 2014 and 2023 expanding from 512TWh to 639TWh (a 15.6% decrease compared to our last forecast for 2023).
