A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) approved the expansion of concessions for eight plants that won the Centralized Competitive Mechanism, held on August 1st.
The measure allows contracts to be extended for up to seven years, according to the guidelines of the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) Ordinance. No. 112/2025, and aims to compensate generators for waiving judicial injunctions related to hydrological risk, unlocking resources in the MCP (Short-Term Market).
The mechanism, created by Provisional Measure 1.300/2025, enabled the negotiation of securities related to unpaid debts in the MCP due to the so-called GSF (Generation Scaling Factor). The operation generated R$1,4 billion and is considered a milestone in settling disputes that had lasted more than a decade.
“We have taken another step towards strengthening the business environment,” said Alexandre Ramos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber).
Of the eight plants included, including Capivara, Chavantes, and Irapé, four received the maximum extension of 2.555 days. The board of directors of ANEEL, however, chose to send the process to the TCU (Federal Court of Auditors) for consideration, due to discrepancies in the calculations between the MP (provisional measure) and the MME ordinance.
With the formalization of the concessions on August 20, the expectation is that the positive effects of the auction will begin to be felt in market settlements starting in September, bringing more predictability and liquidity to the electricity sector.
