Solar and wind energy auction was a success

“With the success of the solar and wind energy auction, Eletrobras Furnas expands its renewable energy portfolio and encourages its commercialization in the conventional and special free market for new projects”, explains Luiz Laércio, Superintendent of Energy Commercialization and Transmission.

Generator entrepreneurs interested in selling energy to Eletrobras Furnas made offers for four products: two deliveries of wind energy and two of solar energy in the Southeast / Midwest, South and Northeast submarkets from 2024 to 2038. They participated in the auction for Special Purpose Entities ( SPEs), wholly-owned subsidiaries and consortiums. Stakeholders also needed to have a positive track record in project implementation and demonstrate sound economic and financial parameters.

“From this event, the company contributes to expanding the supply of solar energy in Brazil, through the feasibility of projects in the free market, which is already a reality of new ventures and also a trend for the future. Our intention is to do good business with energy resale and help in the expansion of the electricity sector, even without participating directly in the construction of new projects”, concluded Pedro Brito, president of FURNAS.
