"Technical" future power prices in Brazil
For those who need to make decisions about contracting electricity for future delivery, it will be interesting to consider this graph of prices based on data from the Energy Research Company (EPE).
These are not market driven prices that reflect the balance between supply and demand. But rather a "neutral" price that would offer an acceptable return for investors regarding new power generation plants, whether hydroelectric, wind or solar, to be built.
For a robust decision-making process, it will be worth comparing market prices with this reference.
PS Prices are in R$/MWh. The exchange rate is, roughly R$ 5/USD
