Certame is the solution for the queue of more than 3,000 wind and solar projects filed with Aneel until March this year
The Ministry of Mines and Energy should publish the ordinance for the runoff margin auction by the end of the year. The information is from the director general of the ring (National Electric Energy Agency), Sandoval Feitosa, in conversation with journalists this Friday (7.Oct.2022).
“As soon as this ordinance is ready, the ministry must publish it and we will carry out the auction. From what we understand, the ministry has urgency in this. We have contributed a lot so that at least the ordinance comes out by the end of the year”, declared.
The contest should solve the problem of the queue of 3,065 projects of wind and solar generation plants that started the grant request process at the agency until March 8, 2022.
Until that date, the enterprises had to take advantage of discounts from 50% to 100% on the TUSD (Distribution System Usage Tariff) and TUST (Transmission System Usage Tariff), as determined by the law 14,120 March 2021. Subsidies are offset by the CDE (Energy Development Account), paid by consumers.
To apply for a grant at Aneel, the entrepreneur needed to present an access information document that enables the connection of the plant to the interconnected system. But one decree signed by President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) determined the suspension of the requirement for the beginning of the granting process for these plants.
This caused the queue of more than 3,000 projects under analysis by Aneel, which are without guarantee that they will be able to drain the energy.
However, the decree itself presented a solution: Aneel could carry out a competitive procedure for contracting, by the generating plants, a margin of energy flow in the transmission system. It is the realization of this event, unprecedented in Brazil, which is being discussed by the government.
The agency has also been working on the analysis of the projects. “Of course, due to the time limit imposed by the legislature, many people filed complete requests, but others with very precarious requests. We are doing exactly this filter”, said Feitosa.
