The six lots offered in the event held by the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) foresee the construction and maintenance of almost 710 kilometers of transmission lines and substations and investments of R$3.51 billion.This is because the transmission segment is considered the safest in the electric sector, which is fully regulated, and the winner gets a 30-year contract. Companies such as Isa Cteep, Energisa, Sterlite, Engie, and CPFL have announced their participation.The infrastructure will serve the states of Espírito Santo, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Pará, Rio de Janeiro, Rio Grande do Sul, Rondônia, Santa Catarina, and São Paulo.
