Creation of 21,200 Jobs Will Come from R$ 11.16 Billion in Investments in 91 Projects Contracted at the A-6 Energy Auction Held Yesterday, 10/18.
Business and job vacancies, this relationship has never been so well represented as in the current moment of crisis we are experiencing. The highly anticipated A-6 energy auction, which Click Petróleo e Gás announced here had 26 natural gas thermoelectric projects registered, exceeded expectations and contracted a total of 91 projects that will greatly contribute to the energy generation that Brazil so desperately needs for development.
The new contracts will require investments of R$ 11.16 billion and will create 21,200 direct job vacancies with operations scheduled by the MME to begin in 2025.
It is worth noting that the expected contracts were around 500 MW to 800 MW, well below the nearly 3 GW contracted and an average price of R$ 176.09 per megawatt, 33.73% below the maximum prices defined by the bidding process.

The Planning Secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Reive Barros, celebrated the auction results and declared: “Today we are celebrating, energy market analysts until yesterday estimated a volume much lower. We achieved a purchase almost two, three times the expected amounts.”
The secretary also mentioned that with this good result achieved, the next auctions are set to repeat such success. “Our expectation for 2020 is to maintain this level, especially since we currently have an incomplete pension reform, a tax reform upcoming, and an administrative reform… in 2020 we will be at a different level of situation in the country. And this is not about any nationalism, or any overly optimistic view, it is based on the data we have.”
