Sustainability Report ENEVA 2020
6.1
INDUSTRY SCENARIO
ELECTRICITY
Demands for electricity dropped in 2020 due to Covid-19 impacts and the
consequent imposition of lockdowns. Economic and industrial activities
were shut down especially in the beginning of the pandemic. Only in the
last four months did consumption recover to pre-pandemic levels. Energy
auctions scheduled for 2020 were canceled with the exception of the A-1
Existing Energy Auction.
The year was also marked by different hydrological phases. The first few
months were partially favorable due to water accumulation in the main
reservoirs of the National Interconnected System (SIN) and consecutive
periods of low difference settlement prices (PLDs). Unfavorable
throughout the second half, the SIN even had some weeks of PLDs at the
regulatory ceiling.
Following the resumption of consumption, the national system operator
(ONS) partnered with the electricity sector monitoring committee (CMSE) to
utilize thermoelectric plants in order to maintain national energy security.
Although thermal dispatch was lower for most of 2020, the consolidated
result was higher than 2019.
