However, recently, with the purpose of minimizing the impacts of global warming and, consequently, meeting the goals established in the Paris Agreement, the energy sector, and especially the power sector, assumed an important role in the energy transition and raised discussions about efforts to meet established environmental goals. [...] Besides the marginalization from the colonial period and the first years of the Republic, that resulted in the formation of ghettos (slams, known as “favelas”), extreme poverty in other parts of Brazil forced several migratory waves from the rural countryside to the large cities, mainly Rio de Janeiro and São Paulo. [...] In this sense, for Light, the Program was a great opportunity to have access to areas that were previously dominated by parallel powers and try to create a new formal relationship with the population, decreasing electricity waste and theft, working together with government authorities to renew the distribution network and improve the quality of the service in the slums included in the Program. [...] In fact, due to a set of conditions, the benefit of the Social Tariff is limited in Light’s concession, where roughly 20% of the consumers have access to the benefit. [...] The vision of the energy transition in Colombia also promotes the creation of energy communities based on cultural, ethnic, territorial and productive characteristics, allowing the participation of final users in the electricity value chain as consumers and generators, therefore alleviating energy poverty.
