Abstract

(1) Background: The objective of this study was to analyze the More Light for the Amazon Program (MLA) to identify the role of each of the parties involved in the concession process and the limitations faced for the success of the program. (2) Methods: Content analysis was used to study the Program's Operationalization Manual, the Terms of Commitment, journalistic materials, and notes from the concessionaires, among other documents. (3) Results: The results pointed out that the government assumes the role of inducer of actions, of objective and norms that guide the private sector, but that the government faces challenges in establishing an effective concession system, control measures and prevention of corruption in the concessions. (4) Conclusions: The utilities take on the role of implementers, but local contexts create constraints on the delivery and maintenance of the electric power system in the communities. These elements are found to be challenges for policy implementation in remote regions in the Amazon.
