Who is eligible to buy?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

In order to become an Energy Free Market buyer, some requirements are required that refer to both consumption and registration with the Chamber of Commercialization of Electric Energy (CCEE). It is also necessary to communicate the change to the distribution company to which you are connected.

The Free Energy Market is currently open to two types of consumers:<\/p>\n\n\n

    \n
  • Retailing Energy Companies:<\/strong> Cemig can represent your small and medium sized company at the Chamber of Electric Energy Trading (CCEE) so that you can enjoy the advantages and benefits of the free energy market without complications and bureaucracy.<\/li>\n
  • Special Consumers:<\/strong> They are supplied at high voltage and have a contracted demand greater than 0.5 MW and inferior to 2 MW. They contract their energy supply exclusively from encouraged energy sources, such as wind and solar.<\/li>\n
  • Free consumers:<\/strong> They are supplied at high voltage and with a contracted demand with the distributor equal or greater to 2 MW.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n
