Abstract

The regulation of renewable energies allows the contracting of energy generated by RER through auctions called by OSINERGMIN; However, RER generators can choose not to participate in such auctions and intervene in the electricity market through the signing of supply contracts, as indicated in article 19 of the Regulation of Legislative Decree 1002. However, Law No. 28832 Law to ensure the efficient development of electricity generation, establishes that no generator can contract with free users and distributors more power or firm energy than its own and those that it has contracted with third parties. Therefore, the supply contracts agree on a certain amount of power and the supply of energy associated with that power. This creates a problem for RER generators, since they will only be able to agree on the sale of energy in their supply contracts, but not power. Consequently, the regulation prevents the growth of RERs by conditioning their participation in the SEIN only through the auction. The problem lies in the legal definition of firm power established in Law No. 25844, which maintains a criterion of safety and guarantee of power delivery to the user, does not recognize the safety and guarantee that the energy generated through solar technology can provide and wind. The study analyzes, if there really is a myth in relation to the lack of security and guarantee attributed to renewable energies, for this, it considers the annual results of wind and solar farms in operation.
