The panorama of the energy market in Brazil allows energy producers to make swap operations with prices, decreasing the intrinsic risks of operation, besides ensuring, occasionally, better profits. Due to the difference between the demands of the various energy submarkets, they may arbitrage the prices to minimize their losses. With the objective to find better ways to make this swap, and working on two thousand series of the settlement price of differences, from the years of 2016, 2017 and 2018, it was possible to analyze the magnitude of the risks, considering the hedge. Despite the results, the Brazilian energy infrastructure is highly dependent on rainfall patterns, showing clear weakness in drought periods. A higher investment in the sustainable energy sector, is necessary in or-der to ensure a more continuous supply, taking into account the experience of other countries.
