Aneel: process on generation cuts will be voted on next Tuesday

The board of Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) will vote next Tuesday (16) on the long-awaited process on improving the standard regarding the criteria for reducing or limiting electricity generation in the SIN (National Interconnected System). The report is by director Agnes Aragão da Costa.

Aneel seeks to establish guidelines for the ordering of maneuvers to reduce or cut generation (or curtailment, in the sector's jargon) - when solar and wind plants are forced to interrupt their generation due to limitations of the electrical grid or momentary excess of supply.

The new rules, which will be handled by Aneel, are part of the discussions in Public Consultation (CP) No. 45/2019, already in the final phase.

On another front, Aneel's general director, Sandoval Feitosa, informed on Tuesday that a review of normative resolution 1,030, which deals with mandatory cuts in electricity generation, will be carried out.

In practice, this will unlock compensation for companies harmed by the obligation to cut generation, according to parameters and deadlines established in law approved last year. The rapporteur for this process will be drawn next Monday, the 15th.

Sandoval Feitosa also said that Aneel will assess whether there were losses "outside what would be considered normal" to the electricity generators that were forced to make cuts last Sunday, in an emergency plan activated by the National Electric System Operator (ONS).
