Seminario “Retos y Desafíos para Desarrollo Energético de Chile”
Septiembre 2 de 2011
Santiago, Chile
► Provider of analytical tools, R&D and consulting services (economic,
environmental and financial studies) in electricity and gas since 1987
► Staff of 50 specialists in engineering, optimization, energy systems,
statistics, finance, regulation, environment and IT
► We work in more than 30 countries (Americas, Asia, Europe e Eurasia)
3
The Brazilian power system
► Brazil has one of the “cleanest” energy
matrices in the world, with about 45% of the
overall energy production coming from
renewable sources
The worldwide average is about 15%
► The power sector is even “greener” – more
precisely, “bluer” – with 80% of the country’s
120,000 MW installed capacity coming from
hydropower
Large plants in cascade over different basins
Large reservoirs
Hydropower is an essential resource for the country
• Hydro-thermal coordination allows economic and emissions savings to consumers
4
Current institutional structure
4
► National Council for Energy Policy (CNPE)
Cabinet-level advisory panel for energy policy decisions
► Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME):
Energy Research Corporation (EPE): Government-owned
company in charge of planning studies
Electric Sector Monitoring Committee (CMSE): monitors
security of supply
► National Regulatory Agency for Electricity (ANEEL)
Chamber for Electric Energy Trading (CCEE): wholesale market operation
(accounting and clearing)
National System Operator (ONS): responsible for centralized system
operation and hydrothermal coordination
There are other agencies for oil, gas and biofuels, environment, etc
5
Business dynamics
► Wholesale competition in generation with a mixed private-
public ownership
Private companies account for 15% of total energy production
Private companies account for 70% of total energy distributed
► Typical load growth: 5% - 6% per year
It is necessary to install 5,000 MW of new capacity per year
~43 TWh/year; 3,200 average MW of firm energy
5
6
Strategies for generation expansion
► Conventional hydro and gas as mainstream options
Hydro resources available in the North region
(Amazon): large and run-of-the river plants
Local gas resources available
• Thermal generation contributes to increase the hydro
system’s reliability
• It is a dispatchable resource (valuable attribute)
► Renewable (wind, biomass and small hydro): complementary options
Shorter construction time, hedge against load growth uncertainty
Smaller scale projects, increases the range of potential investors and
provide a hedge against any construction delay of large hydros
Easier environmental licensing & location close to the load centers
► Coal and nuclear are plan B
7
► All consumers (free and regulated) must be 100% contracted
Verified yearly ex-post, penalties if under contracted
Contracts are financial but must be “backed” by firm energy (MWh/y)
► Regulated users (70% of the market): contract energy through organized
contract auctions
Discos are responsible for load forecast; avoids government planners’
“optimism”
Energy contracts facilitates project financing and reduce the risks for investors
reduced prices
Energy price = energy + capacity
► Free consumers (30% of the market) freely negotiate their contracts with
generators/trading companies
How new capacity enter the system?
7
8
The organized contract auctions for new capacity
8
► Regular (yearly) auctions exclusive for new energy
Organized by the government to contract energy to supply distributor’s energy needs
Standardized long-term energy contracts offered 3 and 5 years ahead of delivery
All technologies compete but the government can interfere in the candidate projects:
• has been used to organize project-specific auctions (e.g. large hydros), to avoid oil- and coal-
fired generation as candidate supply and to foster renewable
Centralized procurement process (for economies of scale) from distributor’s energy
needs declaration
► “Reserve energy” auctions
Organized by the government to contract additional energy to increase the system's
security of supply
The government defines the volumes to contract, all consumers pay for the energy
The government can select the technologies that will participate, has been used to foster
renewable
9
Outlook of the new energy auctions (1 of 2)
► New hydro concessions prepared by the government (EPE) and are
auctioned in a step before the energy contract auction
► Investors are free to offer new (candidate) thermal projects
► Long-list of technical pre-requisites to register a project in the auction:
Prior environmental license required for all projects (government obtain the
license for new hydros)
Grid connection study required
Preliminary fuel supply agreement required for thermal plants
Historical record and certified production for wind
Water supply, right to use the land, etc
9
10
Outlook of the new energy auctions (2 of 2)
► Financial qualifications presented after the auction finishes and only for
winners
► Guarantees for new energy auctions: bid bond (1% of project’s estimated
investment cost) & project completion (5% of project’s estimated
investment cost)
► An auction committee is formed by staff from regulator, Ministry of
Energy, planning company and market operator and have several duties
define the auction mechanism & suggest price caps
define auction product & duration, prepare tender documents, etc
10
11
► Consumers take the “systemic” risks, difficult to be priced by investors:
Transmission congestion risk taken by the consumer
Contracts are indexed to inflation and fuel costs are indexed to international fuel prices
High-voltage transmission tariffs estimated before the auction based on a reference
transmission plan and pre-fixed for 10 years (tariff stability)
EPE plans an integration network with layers of shared collector stations at different
voltages to integrate renewable generators to the HV grid.
► Tailor-made long-term energy contracts offered for each technology
Reliability options for thermal plants, assigns benefits of hydrothermal
optimization/dispatch risk to the consumer
Specific contracts for wind with a multi-year accounting mechanism to manage quantity
risk and incentivize/penalize production above/below a given energy threshold.
11
Risk allocation between generators and consumers

Auction Results (1 of 3)
(regular auctions of new capacity)
12
40% of new energy contracted
since 2005 is fossil-fueled, 40%
conventional hydro & 20%
renewable (60% renewable in total)
Average price: ~ 80 US$/MWh
Source: PSR, from CCEE’s data. Graph shows energy contracted in each year for future delivery (from 2008 to 2016)
13
Auction results (2 of 3)
(Project-specific auctions)
13
► Large hydros contracted by specific
auctions
2007 and 2008 (Madeira river plants):
Santo Antonio (3,150 MW) & Jirau (3,300
MW), prices around 55 USD/MWh
2010: Belo Monte (11,233 MW): ~ 52 USD/MWh
► Winners: consortium of state-companies (50%), local private
constructors, private Gencos (e.g. Suez Energy) and investment
funds (e.g. Santander, Banif)
► Winners of the transmission auction:
► Madeira river (2500 km DC link): mix of private and public
players; Belo Monte transmission system being designed
14
Auction results:(3 of 3)
(Technology-specific auctions results – wind power)
14
PROINFA was the first RES support mechanism in the country and based on a feed-in tariff (administratively set)
* Wind competed against small hydro and biomass
** Wind competed against small hydro, biomass and gas-fired plants
Total of 5.8 GW of wind contracted in
auctions @ 82 US$/MWh
1.9 GW @ for 61 US$/MWh (2011)
15
Conclusions
► Brazil uses a combination of planning and competition to best deploy its energy resource
portfolio
Planning: develop networks and drive energy policy decisions
Competition: auctions select players to develop generation and transmission projects
• 46 generation auctions organized, including 24 auctions for new capacity (7 auctions for RES)
• Overall private participation in winning projects: 75%
► What have we learned?
Risk allocation is everything
• Long-term market reduce risks for investors and facilitates financing
• Centralized procurement process increases competition and creates economies of scale to contract larger
projects
State participation has played a role in large hydro developments (but limited to Eletrobras’
participation limit of 50%)
Auctions provide transparent and efficient outcomes that are unlikely to be challenged in the future
as the political and institutional scenarios change
