Abstract: This research explores perspectives on photovoltaic prosumerism within Brazil’s energy transition. A literature review on energy prosumerism was followed by a research protocol applied to representatives from Brazil’s electricity sector. The study identifies three key mindsets: “One Budget for Prosumerism”, “Power to the Prosumers”, and “Prosumers’ healthy grid”. Rooted in Brazil’s legal, political-regulatory, and market contexts, these mindsets offer valuable insights for policymakers, investors, scholars, and regulators. Our research builds on previous works offering direct and in-depth discussions among local stakeholders, and policy implications on regulatory aspects that are crucial for the development of electricity prosumerism in Brazil.
