On Thursday (08/18) at 10am, the National Energy Agency (ANEEL) performs Energy Auction no. 03/2011 (Reserve). The event provides for the hiring of energy from wind and biomass sources, with supply beginning on July 1, 2014. The electricity negotiated will be subject to Energy Reserve Contract (CER) in the energy a mount modality*. 

The auction will be made through the Internet, with the operationalization of the Energy Trade House (CCEE), in São Paulo. 

The initial price of energy in Energy Auction no. 003/2011 (Reserve) will be BRL 146.00 per megawatt hour (MWh). The price is unique because the wind and biomass power ventures will compete in the same product, in the modality by quantity. 

Auction Systematics – The auction systematic is as follows: the auction begins with the submission of bid amount (energy lots of 0.1 average MW) in the first uniform round, to the initial price. From the second uniform round on, whereas the total supply is higher than the offer (calculated based on the demand placed by the MME), the price is reduced by a decrement defined by the MME. The system then provides that sellers should confirm or withdraw their bid amount. Sellers who remain in the competition when it reaches the limit of the reference offer have the opportunity to submit a final bid price for that amount, in the discriminatory round. The winners are contracted to the price of their bid price in BRL/MWh. The marginal project that completes the compliance with all the demand is fully contracted. Check here the detailed auction systematics. (FA/GL/IW)

* In contracts by quantity, the seller receives the value from the buyer for the amount of energy contracted in the auction.
