If you filter this article down to the informative bits, you could summarise it like this:
“Paraguay’s government acknowledges the benefit of mining surplus energy from hydro instead of selling to Brazil at an arbitrary low rate fixed by a historical decree. However it wants the miners to operate with a license and currently some miners don’t.“
The fact that a government wants a specific activity to be licensed is not the interesting story here.
The interesting story is that Paraguay is an illustration of a wider opportunity for all energy producers around the world: the ability to monetise surplus energy.
Other examples of countries monetising surplus from hydro: Buthan, Ethiopia, Canada, Kenya, Congo
