I'm not clear what "este quadro de desempenho" is referring to.
Could it be something like: 'this form of power generation has tended to dominate the energy sector'?
No Brasil, dado o relevante papel da energia hidrelétrica - inclusive tradicionalmente o setor elétrico atuava como agente mais importante no planejamento e utilização de recursos hídricos - e a complexidade e dimensão das barragens implantadas, **este quadro de desempenho costuma ser bem marcado** nos concessionários de geração de energia elétrica.

this sort of performance is characteristical of
I'd suggest sort/type/kind/form for "quadro" (I think you got it correctly), and
characteristical/typical for "costuma ser bem marcado".

Just an additional note, Muriel. Probably you have noticed that this construction ("costuma ser bem marcado") is definitely not common in Portuguese - just google it and you'll have about 5 results. So, it's probably some less standardized way of saying something else.
Considering the context, I think
...este quadro de desempenho costuma ser bem marcado nos concessionários de geração de energia elétrica...
means something like
...geralmente é uma característica marcante dos concessionários
or
...costuma ser bem notável nos concessionários
So, another suggestion would be
...is usually a remarkable feature of...
Well, that's just another idea. You'll know better if that makes sense in your text.

There's more to this puzzle than meets the eye at first.
No Brasil, dado o relevante papel da energia hidrelétrica - inclusive tradicionalmente o setor elétrico atuava como agente mais importante no planejamento e utilização de recursos hídricos - e a complexidade e dimensão das barragens implantadas, este quadro de desempenho costuma ser bem marcado nos concessionários de geração de energia elétrica
All of these indicate good performance of the energy sector compared to other sectors, IMO. Maybe someone has a different reading.
