One of the great advantages of the ACL (Free Contracting Environment) is the flexibility in contracting, where the consumer can choose the volume of energy they wish to purchase, in addition to negotiating the price and readjustment conditions. 

The statement was made by Donato da Silva Filho, general director of Volt Robotics. The executive was present at the 4th edition of Canal Conecta, congress held by Canal Solar, and brought important insights into the dynamics of contracts in the Free Energy Market.

“This flexibility allows different consumption profiles to be met, from those that require a constant load throughout the day, to those that present seasonal variations and specific times”, he explained.

“There are consumers who have a stable consumption pattern, such as data centers, which consume energy constantly throughout the day and night. But there are also those who have consumption peaks at certain times or months of the year,” said Donato. 

“Despite flexibility, contracts require rigorous risk management”

This variety of profiles, according to him, requires precise negotiation to adjust the characteristics of the energy delivered to the needs of each client, always for a specific period, be it 5, 10 or even 15 years.

The executive also highlighted that, despite the flexibility, the contracts require rigorous risk management, including clauses to deal with default, price adjustments and possible delays in infrastructure works.
