The CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber) released a survey that shows the availability of incentivized energy backing to meet the demand of special consumers.
The study, which is in its eighth edition, showed a surplus of 1,085 average MW for 2021, in addition to a gap in supply for the remainder of 2020. The expectation is that 1,237 average MW will be added by December.
“This amount offered could grow even more, if some projects bring forward their entry into operation for the free market and in the review of REN 843/2019, which is under public consultation”, said Carlos Dornellas, executive manager of Market Security & Information at CCEE.
Regarding the supply of incentivized energy support for 2021, the survey indicated that it could expand even further from January next year, when special consumers with demand between 1.5 MW and 2 MW will become free. The energy potential for release related to this change is 559 average MW.
“We treat it as potential because, in the other reductions in requirements, agents released around 24% and 14% of contracted special energy. The decision to change the type of energy from incentivized to conventional, in these cases, is optional for the agents, who evaluate their needs and benefits”, commented Dornellas.
In the panorama of the evolution of incentivized energy, the study showed that that classified as special jumped from 9,112 average MW, in June 2019, to 10,114 average MW, in the same month of 2020. In relation to total incentivized energy, it was verified in the same period an increase from 12,030 average MW to 13,057 average MW, registering a growth of 8.5%.
About the search
The CCEE takes stock of data on the migration of consumer units classified as special until June 2020, which jumped from 13,400 in January to 15,139 in June.
In this context, the extraordinary August MVE (Surplus Sales Mechanism) was not considered for a period of 12 months from January 2021. The processing carried out for the last three months of 2020, which transacted 510 average MW, was also not considered. included in the results for this year.
