Highlights
With the promotion of the restructuring of the Brazilian Electric System in the late 1990s, the concession model in the electricity transmission segment became competitive, allowing private and state companies, with national or foreign capital, in the form of consortium or not, could dispute the concession of this public service (Cazzaro, 2017)
The opening of the transmission market has provided a new dynamic to the sector since : i) the expansion of the transmission system leveraged the demand for projects in the segment, which are the main means for companies to achieve their strategic goals; and ii) in order to execute multiple projects, it is relevant to establish practices and processes for project management in order to create and manage organizational knowledge, whether for regulatory, technical or strategic reasons, given the competitiveness imposed by the market

Summary
With the promotion of the restructuring of the Brazilian Electric System in the late 1990s, the concession model in the electricity transmission segment became competitive, allowing private and state companies, with national or foreign capital, in the form of consortium or not, could dispute the concession of this public service (Cazzaro, 2017). In 2020, the extension of available transmission lines was 145.600 kilometers, with plans to reach the extension of 184.054 kilometers by the year 2025 These numbers indicate that in the last 20 years, the available infrastructure has more than doubled in size through the auctions, with the prospect of being close to tripling its capacity by 2025. For this reason, the opening of the transmission market has provided a new dynamic to the sector since : i) the expansion of the transmission system leveraged the demand for projects in the segment, which are the main means for companies to achieve their strategic goals; and ii) in order to execute multiple projects, it is relevant to establish practices and processes for project management in order to create and manage organizational knowledge, whether for regulatory, technical or strategic reasons, given the competitiveness imposed by the market
