The Drop In Demand For New Energy Projects In The National Sector Led The MME To Announce The Cancellation Of The Energy Auction That Was Scheduled For This Year, Beyond Distributed Generation In The Sector.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) announced the cancellation of the energy auction that would take place during the year 2022, aiming to attract investments for the national energy market. However, the low demand from distributors in the sector ultimately led the agency to set aside the search for new investors and now shift efforts to market issues.

Energy Auction A-6 Scheduled For 2022 Was Canceled By The MME After Analyzing The Drop In Demand From Energy Distributors This Year

The week started off busy for the Brazilian energy sector, as the MME has just announced the official cancellation of the new energy auction A-6, scheduled to take place this year, due to the low demand from distribution companies in the national territory.

The auction’s main objective was to attract new projects for wind, hydroelectric, and thermoelectric generation (biomass, natural gas, and MSW) for supply starting January 1, 2028.

The announcement of the cancellation of Auction A-6 by the MME also confirmed the continuation of Auction A-5, planned for September 16. The auction forecasts the start of energy supply for the projects to be contracted in the competition on January 1, 2027.

Thus, the MME anticipates the negotiation of Energy Commercialization Contracts in the Regulated Environment (CCEARs) for an initial period of 20 years, aimed at supplying hydroelectric generation plants, small hydroelectric plants, and hydroelectric plants with a capacity equal to or less than 50 MW.

Additionally, the A-5 energy auction also anticipates the contracting of wind and solar photovoltaic projects and their expansions with a supply period of 15 years. Finally, the supply modality of 20 years will be aimed at energy recovery from urban solid waste, thermoelectric plants using biomass, and national coal and biogas.

The MME will now seek, through the A-5 energy auction, to attract new investments and interest in energy production in Brazil, aiming to restore growth in the demand from national distributors in the segment. New updates on the future of energy auctions in Brazil should be released in the coming months.
