The deadline for submitting the necessary documentation to the Economic Development Agency of Pernambuco (AD Diper), the agency coordinating the tender, has been set for the 13 January. The auction will be conducted under free contracting conditions, with the point of supply for the electricity the Northeast submarket.
The volume of energy that will be tendered will vary between different months, from the 598.92 megawatt hours required in May to the 770.04 megawatt hours required in March. The tender will cover the needs of AD Diper itself.
