Last Tuesday, December 15th, was a landmark day in the history of the Free Energy Market. Led by ALPHAINFRA, the first joint energy auction of Cooperative Energy Distributors of São Paulo took place: CERIPA, CEMIRIM, CETRIL, CERVAM, and CERIM.
The auction sold an average of 37.4 MW and was won by CEMIG GERAÇÃO E TRANSMISSÃO SA. The process was conducted by ALPHAINFRA, which had already coordinated, last October, the joint auction of four cooperative energy distributors in Rio Grande do Sul, when an average of 27.2 MW was negotiated for more than R$ 600 million in energy contracts.
Fernando Flach, CEO of the company, recalls that ALPHAINFRA structured seven auctions for cooperative energy distributors in 2020 alone, pioneering the market when it designed the operation in the successful case of COPREL in Ibirubá, the first concessionaire to migrate to the free market in Brazil when it purchased an average of 32 MW for a period of 17 years.
"We devised a strategy based on economies of scale for this pooled auction model. In practice, we have once again found that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts, and the success of yet another auction is the result of teamwork and synergy with the stakeholders involved, especially through the partnership with FECOERSP," says Fernando Flach.
We are very pleased with our expansion and motivated by ALPHAINFRA's growth prospects for 2021. In our view, innovation is not a company department but a value that should be disseminated throughout the organization to drive new projects, adds Flach.
