Estudo de caso de viabilidade financeira na migração de um consumidor com demanda inferior a 500 [kW] para o mercado livre de energia

Abstract

Considering the relevance of early analysis of economic options, this work sought to evaluate the financial strategy, from the cus-tomer's perspective, of the migration of a consumer with demand of less than 500 [kW], from the captive market (Regulated Con-tracting Environment - ACR) to the free market (Free Contract-ing Environment - ACL), in accordance with the new energy trading rules in Brazil that will come into force in 2024. Compari-sons will be made between the costs of purchasing energy in both situations, involving the use of incentivized tariffs, coming from renewable sources. With this in mind and taking into account that the consumer unit will be represented by the retail agent before the Electricity Trading Chamber, a monthly saving of approximately 21.84% was found.
