The first bidding round for the supply of Wind Energy in Brazil
Techniques Rehabilitation Process
In the first round of bidding took place December 14, 2009 to the EPE (Energy Research Company, responsible for planning long-term electricity sector in Brazil) has published guidelines and approved the technical conditions necessary to 339 wind energy projects.
Projects are added to the proposed installed capacity of 10. 005 MW, compared to half the total capacity of the central Rio Madeira hydroelectric complex containing Hydro Jirau (3 300 MW) and Santo Antonio (3 150 MW) of Rondônia, northern Brazil.
Contracts for energy reserves resulting from this first round of betting will begin to arrive on July 1, 2012, with a store in 20 years. The target price is offered for sale wind power was R $ 189 per MWh (or U.S. $ 108 MWh)
Results
It was attached 1st 805.7 MW at an average price of R $ 148.39 per MWh (U.S. $ 84.79 or MWh). Of the 339 original projects that had access to the auction to only 71 projects will be implemented in 5 states in the regions north and south. The amount of money involved in the life of contracts – 20 years is R $ 19.59 billion (U.S. $ 11.20 billion)
Comments
The success of this offer does wind came round shortly after the withdrawal of the appeal to the thermoelectric generation under December 21, 2009. The price reached between the parties are close to the energy sent by the thermal plants.
According to EPE (Energy Research Company) in 2010, electricity demand in Brazil will grow by 9.4%, the prognosis is based on a GDP growth of 0.5% in 2009, 6% in 2010 and 5 % average for the years 2011 to 2018 for the Brazilian economy. During this period, the number of independent power producers (IPP) will help you grow by 8.4%, reaching 74.4 thousand GWh 2018th
We believe in Octo Finance generators on the Brazilian market for renewable energy, particularly for suppliers of the Aero will have a lift with this last round, both Siemens and Vestas has announced its intention to expand its capacity in Brazil . On the other hand, waiting for the Brazilian government to develop and propose their own policy on renewable energy which would create the necessary sponsorship is authorized to create a wind energy industry and the market, but also to support the technology to develop.
