Resumo(s)
The electricity demand in Brazil has been growing. Some studies estimate that through 2035 the
energy consumption (the power consumption) should increase 78%. Two distinct actions are
necessary to meet this growth: the construction of new generating plants and to reduce electrical
losses in the country. As the construction of power plants have a high price, coupled with the
growth of (current) environmental concern, electric utilities are investing in reducing losses, both
technical and non-technical. In this context, this paper aims to present an overview of nontechnical
losses in Brazil and to raise a discussion on the reasons that contribute to energy fraud.
