The 11 lines were capped with discounts that had variation  from 0.01% to 32.44%.

The Brazilian Energy Agency (Aneel) concluded successfully the transmission auction held today (11/27), in Rio de Janeiro.  All grants of the 11 lines and eight substations were awarded to companies and consortia in Brazil and Spain.  The offered proposals had discounts ranging from 0.01% to 32.44%.  The average discount was 28.43%.

In an interview at the end of the event, General Director of Aneel, Nelson Hübner, said the auction result was ‘positive and all lots were sold. Only one of the lots received a small discount, but we expected this outcome’. Hübner said Aneel sets the Allowed Annual Revenue (RAP) for each auction, reducing the values for each event.  ‘As we saw the high discounts, we ourselves found a way to reassess the values’, he said.

According to the general director, the highest RAPs usually generate the most significant discounts, this is because the bigger the RAP, the greater the investment and the competition among companies.  The battle for new developments result in benefit to end users of energy.

In the auction, companies and consortia that offered the lowest fare, i.e. the lowest annual income allowed (RAP) for the service, were declared winners.  Discounts recorded from the annual income allowed provided in the announcement and the auction will result in benefits to consumers, since the rate of use of the transmission system is a component of cost of the tariff paid by the end consumer to the distributors, and contribute to increased competitiveness of the productive sector.

The period of transmission concessions is 30 years and is destined for construction, operation and maintenance of 1,079 miles of 11 lines and eight substations of the basic network to be built in the states of Amazonas, Bahia, Ceará, Espírito Santo, Goiás, Maranhão , Mato Grosso and Minas Gerais. The projects will generate 6.8 thousand direct jobs and go into operation between 15 and 24 months after the signing of concession contracts.  The total investment for the construction of lines are estimated at R$ 1.3 billion.
