In Brazil, distribution companies (DisCos) must supply their expected load growth with contract purchases in centralized New Energy Auctions, in which commercial operation date – COD of generation projects being sold is (at least) 4 years ahead. Projecting energy demand for several years ahead is very challenging as energy consumption is very dependent on economy growth rate, the possibility of a surge of a new solution/technology (solar distributed generation) and the migration of captive consumers to the free market, to name a few. Even though distribution companies are allowed to pass through the costs of contract surplus of up to 5 percent in energy tariffs, this threshold was shown insufficient when the latest economic crisis in Brazil (2015) has knocked over consumption growth expectations, leaving distribution companies with huge contract surplus. This situation became a problem for the distribution companies since these contracts must be settled in the spot market, exposing them to the spot price, which is very volatile, and compromising their cash flow. In this context, the Mecanismo de Venda de Excedentes - MVE was created, an essential regulatory instrument to help distribution companies manage their energy portfolio. Through this mechanism, DisCos can sell in a centralized auction their contracts surplus, reducing their position in the spot market. This work aims to propose a methodology to optimize the distribution companies strategy in the MVE auctions using the theory of the Decision under Uncertainty. In other words, the model will indicate a strategy to sell contracts in the MVE, considering the agent s risk aversion profile, evaluating all the opportunity costs involving in this decision-making.
