Técnicos do tcu pedem suspensão parcial de leilão de energia

A área técnica do TCU recomendou a suspensão parcial da homologação de um megaleilão de energia que contratou R$ 515 bilhões em reservas para usinas termelétricas e hidrelétricas.

O parecer, assinado na sexta-feira (15), questiona a contratação de usinas termelétricas movidas a carvão e gás. Os técnicos alertam para lucro extraordinário das empresas vencedoras e para o risco de custo elevado para os consumidores.

O leilão, realizado em março, contratou 19 GW de capacidade por 15 anos. O preço-teto quase dobrou em três dias, e o deságio ficou em cerca de 5%. A modelagem priorizou fontes fósseis em vez de baterias renováveis.

O Ministério de Minas e Energia afirmou que o certame seguiu todos os preceitos legais. O caso agora segue para o plenário do TCU, enquanto ações na Justiça Federal pedem anulação do resultado.
