Abstract
The challenges of power deregulation in Brazil were a predominantly hydroelectric system characterized by large reservoirs capable of multiyear regulation arranged in complex cascades over several river basins. This article briefly diagnoses what went wrong with the Brazilian reform, contrasts its approach with that of California, and discusses alternatives to improve the situation.
