The New Coronavirus Pandemic Directly Influenced Energy Consumption in Brazil

The country had a decrease of 4.6% in June compared to the same month of the previous year. The data confirms the beginning of a recovery trend in demand, although still at a slower pace. The results reflect the less restrictive social isolation measures in some of the country’s major cities. According to CCEE, both the regulated market and the free market showed the same percentage value.

In contrast, in May, the National Interconnected System (SIN) fell by 10.9%, the Regulated Contracting Environment (ACR) fell by 11.4%, and the Free Contracting Environment (ACL) fell by 9.7%. In the fourth month of the year, the largest decline occurred due to measures taken to deal with the new coronavirus.

The retraction in the month totaled 12.1%, a decrease of 11.5% in the regulated market and a decrease of 13.6% in the free market. Comparing the average consumption for the entire period of social isolation (March 21 to June 30) with the average consumption of the 20 days immediately prior to the implementation of the restriction measures (March 1 to March 20), the reduction is 14.6%, corresponding to a decline in ACR of 14.1% and in ACL of 15.7%.

These initial data take into account the total consumption of the self-use market, where consumers purchase energy directly from distributors, and the total consumption of the free market, which allows for the selection of suppliers and negotiation of contractual terms.

However, the study did not consider data from Roraima, as it is the only state not connected to the national energy system.
