What changed and who it applies to
What changed
Holders of RenovAr contracts (Rounds 1, 1.5, 2 and 3) can request termination by paying, once, 14% of the contract performance guarantee and waiving claims against the State and CAMMESA; in exchange they do not pay pending penalties. If they already have commercial authorization, from the following month they can sell their energy in the renewable energy term market (MATER), where contracts are signed directly with private parties, giving up tax benefits granted but not used. Rounds 1, 1.5 and 2 can also redo the contract for the committed energy or make up within four years the energy they did not deliver. RenMDI projects (lines 1 and 2) add 365 days to the extension for entering operation, paying USD 5,000 per MW per quarter, and another 365 days at USD 7,000 per MW per quarter. The proceeds go to FODER. It repeals Res. SE 883/2023, which had never begun to be implemented. verif Sep 25, 2026 ↗

Who it applies to
Owners of RenovAr parks, who can leave their contract with the State and sell to private buyers; mining companies, industries and data centers looking for renewable energy contracts; and the construction and equipment suppliers of RenMDI projects, who gain a year. thesis Sep 25, 2026

Our reading
thesis · R4 More renewable supply reaches the market between private parties just as Res. SE 264/2026 requires large new loads to contract new energy: the parks that leave RenovAr become potential sellers to mining companies and data centers. Leaving is not free —14% of the guarantee and waiving claims—, so those who do it will be the ones who earn more selling to private buyers than collecting from the State. For the RenMDI supplier, the extra year is the window. thesis
