en.Wedoany.com Reported - Brazil's National Electric System Operator (ONS) has launched a major internal project called "Maestro," aimed at reviewing its conventional work organization structure that impacts the power industry and developing collaborative computing models. The project is being implemented in phases, with the organizational restructuring expected to be completed and operational by October 2026, at which point the team will begin developing pilot programs.

According to the operator, this initiative reinforces its commitment to improving proprietary computing tools, which will be developed using open-source code and built collaboratively with various sectors of society. In a statement, ONS said that upon completion of the process, operational independence will be enhanced not only for the operator but for the entire Brazilian power industry. This is a strategic and fundamental process that facilitates faster and more predictable integration of innovation in the future.

Currently, ONS is conducting internal preparations, with operator teams occupying new departmental positions. Starting in July, the project will enter an auxiliary operational phase, where the new structure will be gradually implemented in stages and subject to continuous oversight by departments such as Planning, Operations and Information Technology, Agent Relations, and Regulatory Affairs. During these phases, teams will begin proposing and developing new solutions and tools that, from the outset, will be ONS's intellectual property, using open-source code and distributed free of charge. These will gradually replace the tools currently in use, strictly adhering to all industry governance procedures.

Alexandre Zucarato, ONS's Planning Director, emphasized that the project is based on co-construction with industry participants. He stated that this initiative enhances ONS's technical capabilities, evaluating operations under diverse scenarios over time and the increasingly changing characteristics of power generation. The goal is to increase decision-making transparency for all stakeholders, who, based on an understanding of operational realities, will work in a collaborative environment following best practices for open-source tools.
