In a press conference, Aneel’s CEO, Jerson Kelman, declared that the ‘auction results were completely successful, with all the lots being auctioned, what encourage us for the auction on Wednesday (on the next 26 Aneel will be auctioning the Transmission Lines of the River Madeira Hydroelectric Complex)’
To the CEO ‘it was much more than a transmission lines action. It was an arrangement which allows the implementation of plants which burn sugar cane bagasse in the states of Mato Grosso do Sul and Goiás and those auctioned lots will allow the flowing of energy generated by those plants’. According to the Kelman, ‘it was not a simple institutional arrangement, since it involved Basic Network lines, which will be shared and exclusive use lines for the generators. To carry out this auction, which enables the connection of those plants, a great effort was necessary regarding the biomass sector, by Aneel, the Empresa de Pesquisa Energética (EPE) and the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME)’.
Other participants in the press conference were Aneel’s director José Guilherme Senna, the Aneel Public Bid president Aneel, Hélvio Guerra, the Agency’s Transmission Licenses superintendent, Jandir Nascimento, and representatives of the winning companies.

During the auction, the companies and consortiums which offered the smaller tax were declared the winners, i.e., the smaller permissible annual income (RAP) for the services composed by three installments: Basic Network transmission facilities and the amounts equivalent to the connection liabilities of the ICGs and IEGs. Total RAP – the sum of the amounts regarding the three installments – will be obtained when the undertakings enter in commercial operation. This amount will be remunerated until June 30, 2025. After this date, as of June 1, the ICGs and IEGs will be transferred without burdens for the local energy distributors –Empresa Energética de Mato Grosso do Sul S/A (Enersul) and Celg Distribuição.
The registered discounts between the permissible annual income established in the public notice and the bids at the auction will result in benefits for the customer, considering that the tax for use of the transmission systems is one of the tax cost elements paid by the final customer to the distributors, besides contributing for a better competitiveness in the national production sector.
