Análise de viabilidade técnica e financeira da migração de órgãos públicos para o mercado livre de energia

Abstract

With the increasing costs of electricity in the Regulated Contracting Environment, the free energy market presents itself as a possible option for some consumers who wish to obtain savings on their energy bills. Among the energy contracting models in the free market, the distinction between wholesale and retail models is notable. The retail model, as it presents greater practicality in its operational processes, can be strategic for Public Administration consumer units, despite the fact that in such a model the tariffs for selling electricity are more expensive than those practiced in the wholesale model. In view of this, the present work carried out an analysis of the technical and financial feasibility of migrating 194 consumer units from the Municipality of Fortaleza to the free energy market in the retail modality. The methodology used in the analysis was the break-even point method. The analysis made it possible to obtain savings estimated at R$703,660.49 per month. This monthly return allowed the project a payback time of approximately 10 months, a positive NPV of R$284,979.93 and an IRR of 0.42% per month. The financial metrics mentioned allow the conclusion that the migration project of the 194 public bodies is economically viable, so that the monthly amount saved can be converted into investments in other areas of the public service.
