Creation of 21,2 thousand jobs will come from R$ 11,16 billion in investments in 91 projects contracted in the A-6 energy auction that took place yesterday, 18/10.
Business and job vacancies, this relationship has never been so well represented as in the current crisis we are going through . The long-awaited A-6 energy auction, which Click Petróleo e Gás announced here that it had 26 registered natural gas thermoelectric projects, exceeded expectations and contracted a total of 91 projects that will greatly contribute to the generation of energy that Brazil so badly needs to develop.
The new contracts will demand investments of R$ 11,16 billion and will create 21,2 thousand direct jobs with the start of operations foreseen by the MME to start in 2025.
It is worth remembering that the contracting expectation was somewhere around 500 MW and 800 MW, well below the almost 3 GW contracted and an average price of R$ 176,09 per megawatt, below 33,73% of the maximum prices defined by the bidding.
The Planning Secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, Reive Barros, celebrated the outcome of the auction and declared: “Today we are celebrating, energy market analysts until yesterday estimated a much lower volume. We managed to purchase almost twice, three times the estimated values”.
The secretary also said that with this good result obtained, the next auctions have everything to repeat such success. “Our expectation for 2020 is that it will remain at this level, not least because today we have a pension reform that is still incomplete, tax reform to come, administrative reform… in 2020 we will have a different level of situation in the country. And then it is not a question of any vainglory, no more optimistic view, it is based on the data that we have”.
