Auction Promoted by Aneel Took Place in São Paulo and Enabled the Bidding of 13 Blocks of Concessions for Energy Transmission Assets

This Thursday (30), the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) held an auction in São Paulo for the bidding of 13 blocks of concessions for energy transmission assets, which together total 5,425 kilometers of lines and 6,180 megavolt-amperes (MVA) in substation transformation capacity.

The auction was the largest conducted by the segment since 2018. It is estimated that investments of up to R$ 15.3 billion will be generated during the construction period of the lines, which may vary from 42 to 60 months, and that up to 31,697 direct jobs will be created.

The winners of the auction promoted by Aneel will provide construction, operation, and maintenance services for the facilities for a period of 30 years, being compensated by the Annual Allowed Revenue (RAP) while the contract is in force. The maximum RAP for this bidding is equivalent to R$ 2.2 billion per year, adjusted by the Broad Consumer Price Index (IPCA).

The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) Maintained, in This Auction, the Proportion of Financiable Items at 80%

For this bidding, the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) maintained the proportion of financiable items at 80%, meaning that the winners of each project had to use at least 20% of their own capital. Furthermore, the Aneel auction is part of the Partnerships for Investment Program of the Presidency of the Republic (PPI).

The approval of the auction is scheduled for August 23, while the signing of the concession contracts should occur on September 30. Of the total R$ 15.3 billion expected in investments, R$ 12.27 billion will be directed to large-scale transmission, capable of channeling renewable energy solar in the state of Minas Gerais (lots 1 to 3).

Interim Director-General of Aneel Argues in Favor of the Policies and Regulations Employed by the Agency as Key Factors for the Success Achieved by the Auction

Camila Bonfim, interim director-general of Aneel, stated that the auction was successful due to the existence of a safe and attractive investment environment in the electric sector, built over the years through well-structured governance, legal security, stability, and regulatory predictability.

The director also stated that Aneel works with regulations that encourage competition and innovation, in order to ensure quality service and a fair rate. Camila finally assured that they will continue this purpose, which is reflected in the success of transmission auctions.

The deputy secretary of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, José Roberto Bueno Júnior, highlighted that the projects awarded today will significantly contribute to the continued reliable operation of the National Interconnected System, in order to promote adequate supply to consumers of energy in the country, always in accordance with the demand for tariff moderation in suggesting new expansion solutions.

According to the secretary, the expansions auctioned today are important as they will also open the connection margin for renewable generation ventures in the state of Minas Gerais, which has the potential for viable solar energy with beneficial utilization for Brazil’s electrical system.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Scotland creates a brick made with over 95% recycled debris, eliminates kiln firing, and attempts to reinvent a piece used in construction for almost a thousand years.

In Taipei, 1.5 million recycled plastic bottles were saved from becoming waste, turned into building blocks, and formed a nine-story pavilion for an international exhibition.

Man spends days sculpting a giant bathtub from a single block of natural stone and the result impresses with its precision.

Japanese city with only 1,300 residents builds a public building with donated windows, creates a zero waste center in the shape of a question mark, and turns waste into postcards.

Frank Gehry’s tower in the south of France received more than 4,000 salt panels and turned a classic construction problem into an architectural finish.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
