en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Energy Research Company (EPE) has clearly stated that the volume of natural gas required for the full-load operation of thermal power plants contracted in the Capacity Reserve Auction (LRCAP) should be negotiated between the winning companies and natural gas transportation companies, and demonstrated to the National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (ANP). This position was taken by the EPE in response to questions raised by natural gas pipeline companies. The relevant official letter was signed on Wednesday (3rd) and submitted to the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) on Monday (8th).

Previously, natural gas pipeline companies had suggested that there could be a discrepancy of up to 4.8 million cubic meters between the gas consumption estimated by the EPE and the volumes actually agreed upon with the auction winners. In response, the EPE stated in the official letter that it is not responsible for verifying gas consumption volumes, and indicated that the ANP is the appropriate body for such verification. The EPE wrote in the letter: "The aforementioned gas consumption volumes are not intended to determine, in a binding or substitute manner, the contractual amounts to be stipulated in the commitment terms of natural gas fixed transportation service contracts. Instead, they should be negotiated directly between the winning parties and the transportation companies, and demonstrated to the ANP in accordance with current regulations." In the same document, the EPE further emphasized that any requests related to the final verification of gas consumption volumes should be submitted to the ANP, which will handle them on a case-by-case basis according to the auction guidelines and notice.
