The last week was quite busy for Aneel, since the agency won the 13 lots in the energy transmission auction. The auction points out that the lots were auctioned for the management of assets destined to the flow of renewable energy.
This past Thursday (30/06), at the headquarters of B3, in São Paulo, the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) held an auction for the transmission of the energy which guaranteed investments of around R$ 15,3 billion in the area.
Data provided at the auction indicate that investments attributed to the 13 lots available are around BRL 15,3 billion

The initial investment estimate is R$ 15,3 billion, but the amount may vary, as companies look for alternatives to save money.
According to the rules, the company that offered the lowest Allowable Annual Reference Revenue (RAP) project to be paid won each lot. That is, the one with the greatest devaluation in relation to the reference value. In the end, the value totaled by the RAP was around R$ 1,206 billion, with a reduction of 46,16% of the forecast by the governing agency.
The highlights of the day were the developments in lots 1, 2 and 3, the most disputed in the session. The great expectation was that investments in these lots would exceed R$ 12 billion, the strong dispute was much celebrated by Aneel.
However, for the director of Aneel, Hélvio Guerra, more than the investments attracted, the new strategic results that will be allowed with the lots of energy stand out, mainly the advances that will be possible in the north of Minas Gerais.
