| description | This study aimed to provide a comprehensive analysis of the More Light for Amazon (MLA) program by examining the roles played by each stakeholder involved in the concession process and identifying the limitations faced for program success. The research employed a content analysis methodology, analyzing a variety of documents, including the Program Operational Manual, Commitment Terms, news articles and concessionaires’ notes. The findings reveal the crucial role of the government as an inducer of actions, establishing objectives and guiding norms for the private sector. Conversely, concessionaires assume the role of program implementers but encounter specific limitations in remote locations that challenge the provision and maintenance of the electrical system in beneficiary communities. The implementation of microgrid systems through concessions enhances coordination and integration between generation and distribution services, allowing for increased government control and ensuring transparency, efficiency and program effectiveness. These identified elements represent significant challenges for the implementation of public policies in remote regions of the Amazon. Overcoming these challenges will require coordinated and strategic actions involving both the government and concessionaires to ensure the complete fulfillment of energy needs in MLA program beneficiary communities. |
