Abstract

This bachelor thesis presents a feasibility analysis of the adhesion of Companhia Cearense de Transportes Metropolitanos (METROFOR) to the Free Energy Market. Initially, the two contracted forms of energy currently existent in Brazil, the Free Contract Framework and the Regulated Contracting Framework are described, as well as the requirements to participate in each market, with more emphasis to the first, the focus of this work. METROFOR is therefore presented, the company manager of the subway transportation system in Ceará, detailing some caracteristics of its electrical system and current model of energy contracting, giving more emphasis to the South line, which only meets the requirements to participate of the Free Energy Market. With the information about the METROFOR electrical system, we analyze the billing simulations carried out by two energy trading companies, from which we infer the estimated economy from the migration at different times. Finally, the most relevant points in the procedure for changing the contracting framework and others bureaucratic obstacles are discussed, concluding with an estimative of the next stages of the process.
