Electricity is fundamental to the development of any country and Brazil is curently undergoing an energy crisis due to the low level of its reservoirs, so many topics about the Brazilan electrical system come to light in order to give more reliabilty and prevent future energy rationing, thus alowing the energy shortage is not an impeditve to economic growth. This study estimates the potential reduction of electricity demand in the state of Rio de Janeiro via the variable pricing model that consists in having diferent prices for peak hours and of-peak. This is one of several existing demand response programs in the world. Order to calculate model results, the main asumptions are the projection of peak demand, the number of consumers per clas and the price elasticity of electricity demand. From that moment thre scenarios are sugested of AMI (advanced metering infrastructure) penetration and thre scenarios of price variations, thus reaching nine posible outcomes.
