This year, the auctions were suspended due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The Ministry of Mines and Energy stated that in 2021, it will change the guidelines for activities to remove the 50% flexibility limit on all thermal energy sources. Both flexible and completely inflexible plants can participate in bids.
The measure is part of an effective agreement between the government and Senate leaders to ensure the approval of the Natural Gas Law without altering the text from the Chamber of Commerce. The MME will also reopen the registration period.

In January, the new guidelines for A-3 and A-4 energy auctions will be published. The event planned for April aims to obtain energy from hydropower, wind, solar, and biomass thermal projects.
New A-5 and A-6 energy sources auctions are also planned for September, to reduce the generation of hydropower, wind, solar photovoltaic, and thermal energy from urban solid waste recovery.
Thermoelectric plants using biomass, coal, and natural gas are also being planned. The government may also hold an auction in the second half of next year to acquire capacity reserves.
