The CCEE (Chamber of Electric Energy Commercialization) has decided to place Tradener under a balanced operating regime. In practice, the entity will now more closely monitor the financial transactions of the trading company, which is going through a period of economic imbalance.
Under this system, new registrations, adjustments, and validations of electricity purchase and sale contracts are subject to prior verification by CCEE, with the aim of avoiding negative financial exposure.
According to the Chamber, the measure is part of efforts to preserve economic stability and strengthen security in transactions within the free energy market, mitigating systemic risks for other agents.
A Tradener had obtained a decision. The ruling from the 27th Civil and Business Court of Curitiba authorized the fulfillment of contractual obligations considering the "load curve" of energy delivery, for a period of 60 days. This would allow the company to deliver energy under conditions different from those originally agreed upon.
The measure set a significant precedent by allowing a delivery profile similar to that of solar power generation, concentrated during the day when prices are lower, which could expose consumers to higher demand during the nighttime period.
However, the Court of Justice of Paraná suspended the authorization and ordered the full compliance with the contracts "in the form originally agreed upon".
CCEE has announced that it is aware of the new decision and has taken the necessary steps to comply. The consequences are expected to impact the accounting and financial settlement of the short-term market.
Regarding contract compliance
In a statement, ABRACEEL (Brazilian Association of Energy Trading Companies) reinforced the need for full compliance with contracts, regardless of the challenging scenario marked by legal disputes.
Recently, the IBS Energy Group has filed for bankruptcy protection. to maintain its market operations while facing a period of economic and financial imbalance.
This case adds to those of other trading companies, such as 2W Ecobank, Gold, Eletron, Boven Varejista, América and Electra, which are facing difficulties in honoring contracts in the free market, amidst a sector crisis characterized by price volatility, credit restrictions, deteriorating liquidity and increased contractual risk.
Companies point out that the scenario stems from structural changes in the electricity sector, especially in the dynamics of price formation. Added to this is the reduction in energy available for trading, due to curtailment events and hydrological restrictions, which have been putting pressure on the operation and cash flow of market participants.
