O TCU (Union Court of Auditors) decided to authorize the continuation of the auction for the privatization of electricity transmission. Initial investments are planned in $ 3,7 billion and cover 850 km of transmission lines and substations with capacity for 1600 MVA.
The decision was taken at the Wednesday (14), under the report of the minister George Oliveira, ensuring that the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) meets the formal requirements of the IN-TCU 81/2018 and may proceed to the concession of the provision of public electricity transmission services, for 30 years, extendable for the same period.
O Transmission Auction ANEEL 2/2024 covers the construction, Operação e manutenção of transmission facilities that will become part of the Basic Network of SIN (National Interconnected System).
The TCU recommended that the agency evaluate the carrying out of bidding or extension of current contracts. Whoever wins the auction will have to continue providing public services in 163 km long located in seven states: Bahia, Espírito Santo, Minas Gerais, Paraná, São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul.
“Initially, I consider that the risks of judicialization and possible questions regarding the procedures adopted by Aneel in conducting the event have been duly removed (or mitigated), commented Minister Jorge Oliveira.
Transmission facilities are divided into four lots. Lot 1 is the largest and represents around 78% investments and Allowed Annual Revenue.
“In the light of Decree 11.314 / 2022, transmission concessions can only be extended when the bidding is unfeasible or results in harm to the public interest, which is not the case in question”, explained the minister.
