Explanation:
In Literature, the term encumbing means suffocating, all embracing, as in the encumbing earth that surrounded it. In your context, I would think that encumbing generating firms means very top heavy,expensive generating firms, as opposed to....effectively competitive markets, etc. I would translate it as empresas generadoras hinchadas, con costos muy elevados, etc. somewhere aroud that idea. Happy xlating!!

top heavy


Explanation:
encumber is to burden.
This seems also implied by the term "re-structure .." These seems to operations which are very costly yet are marginal to the company's profitability.
