Gobierno lanza subasta de energía a largo plazo para blindar sistema eléctrico

El Ministerio de Minas y Energía, liderado por Edwin Palma, publicó una resolución que convoca subastas de contratos de energía eléctrica a largo plazo. La medida busca asegurar el suministro desde 2030, promover renovables y reducir la volatilidad de precios. Los contratos durarán 15 años bajo el esquema 'pay as bid'.

El Ministerio de Minas y Energía emitió una resolución para convocar subastas de energía limpia a largo plazo, con el fin de atraer inversión y diversificar la matriz energética del país.

La iniciativa responde a la necesidad de cerrar la brecha entre la energía contratada y la demanda proyectada desde 2027, garantizando la confiabilidad del sistema y protegiendo a los usuarios de aumentos abruptos en precios. Los contratos, de 15 años, iniciarán el 1 de enero de 2030, con opción para algunos hasta 2035.

Se trata de un mecanismo 'pay as bid', donde cada participante recibe el precio ofertado. Podrán intervenir generadores, autogeneradores, vendedores y comercializadores como compradores, cumpliendo requisitos técnicos, legales y financieros. Hay cuatro perfiles de entrega: energía constante, solar diurna, bloques día-tarde y pico nocturno.

Los precios tendrán límites: máximo de compra y mínimo de venta para filtrar ofertas extremas. Se actualizarán con el Índice de Precios del Productor (IPP), manteniendo su valor real. La adjudicación priorizará eficiencia económica y, en empates, el orden de llegada.
