The A-1 auction aims to meet the needs of local distributors for the upcoming year. At the same time, it allows for the reconstruction of Brazilian distribution utilities, which helps to balance supply and demand.
The MME also stated that it will not hold the A-2 energy auction this year due to uncertainties regarding the post-pandemic energy load market. Earlier this year, the federal government postponed the schedule for six auctions set for 2020.
