Description

The Brazilian energy management services (EMS) market is still in a nascent growth stage. However, competitors expect double-digit growth, mainly because of governmental incentives in energy efficiency programs. Customer awareness is expected to increase, although there is apprehension in investing in such long-term payback projects. Moreover, the funding offer, especially from the government, will have a considerable growth until 2017. In 2012, the market is estimated in US$ 697.3 million. Considerable growth is expected in the construction sector until 2016 as a result of the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and the Olympic Games in 2016.
