A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) approved this Tuesday (12) the reopening of the public consultation process to analyze the notice of the transmission auction scheduled for December. The auction depends, however, on the decision of the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy), which suspended new contracts in the sector, for an indefinite period, in view of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The event will offer investors contracts for the construction and future operation of projects that will require total investments of R$10,15 billion, expected to generate around 21.300 direct jobs.
The projects are intended to contract electricity transmission facilities located in 11 States – Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, Paraná, Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and São Paulo. The delivery time for the works varies from 42 to 60 months.
in all are 15 lots made available in the notice under analysis: six from the first auction, previously scheduled for July, and nine projects that would already be offered at the end of the year.
A ANEEL will discuss the auction rules with the sector during the 45-day public consultation period, between May 14 and June 20.
