EPE says an oil surplus could lower prices from current levels, while anticipated El Niño conditions could restrict navigation in Brazil’s North. Increased storage and renegotiated supply contracts are identified as preparations that could reduce the effects of a prolonged dry spell. These are the agency’s forward-looking assumptions, not realised prices or weather outcomes.
