The National Energy Policy Council is responsible for promoting the planning and implementation of energy policies in the country. Its decisions directly impact the energy industry, influencing everything from oil production to the exploration of renewable sources. The CNPE plays a key role in the sustainable development of the Brazilian energy sector.
