GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)
Portuguese term or phrase:lastro
English translation:surplus

Portuguese to English translations [PRO]
Tech/Engineering - Energy / Power Generation / energy loss recompense
Portuguese term or phrase: lastro
I have come across this term before in energy insurance claims, this concerns the compensation for the failure of a transformer in a wind farm, resulting in loss of generatio revenue.

I dont think the normal translation of ballast is applicable here, maybe SURPLUS or something?




Notamos ainda que os limites de perdas tanto para recomposição de lastro como para perdas de receita estão definidos na especificação da apólice e foram abortados no “item 8”
