Estudo de viabilidade técnico e econômico da migração das escolas da capital da universidade do estado do Amazonas do mercado cativo para o mercado livre de energia elétrica

Abstract

In Manaus, electricity generation is made up of several private and alternative generators. Since 1995, the federal government has been studying measures to attract private investment, following the global context marked by liberalization. Its initial proposal was approved by Law No. 9,074, which created the figure of the Independent Energy Producer and the Free Consumer, and, therefore, established the rights of free access to the distribution and transmission system, giving rise to the competitive electricity market. This law generated a tariff divided into two large groups called Portion A and Portion B. Portion A is limited to the price of energy, transmission costs and charges. Distributors have no control over these costs and just pass them on to consumers. Portion B refers to the distribution infrastructure and associated services, which are essentially maintenance and operation, that is, the availability of the energy transport system of the distributor itself. This portion is what remunerates the concessionaires, who have control over their costs. This work explored the advantages of the free market regarding the consumer's power of choice and decision-making regarding the negotiation of the energy tariff and its commercial installments, seeking savings for the final consumer. The migration of the Amazonas State University from a captive consumer to a free market presented great savings potential for the public coffers, as well as strengthening the development of this contracting model that will influence the Brazilian electric system for improvements in both the quality of the energy provided and the final tariff.
