A CCEE (Electric Energy Trading Chamber) concluded the financial settlement of MCP (Short-Term Market) operations for the month of March, closing the first quarter of 2025 with R$4 billion effectively settled. The amount represents just over half of the R$7,54 billion recorded in the period. 

The Short-Term Market works as a compensation system between sector agents, adjusting the differences between the volume of energy contracted and that actually consumed or generated.

Generators that deliver above the contracted amount are paid for the difference, while consumers who exceed their contracts pay the additional amount.

Despite the liquidation, a significant portion of the funds remain withheld due to legal disputes. In March alone, R$1,12 billion was held back by decisions related to risk hydrological (GSF, in the English acronym). Another R$40,73 million is in installments, and R$15,78 million has not been paid due to default.

According to CCEE, agents protected by injunctions that exempt them from the GSF distribution registered a compliance rate of around 98%.

Those required to pay proportionally observed a rate of 58,7%. For agents without any current injunction, the collection rate was 57,4%.
