Brazil might sell the rights towards building approximately 3,700 MW of hydropower capacity before 2010-end since 10 novel hydroelectric projects are likely to be auctioned off.

Brazil’s electricity regulator is currently preparing these auctions while the environmental licenses for these projects might be ready by year end.

The auction might include power generated from the Santo Antonio do Jari dam located in the Amazon region of Brazil, four hydroelectric projects located in the center-west region on the river of Teles Pires and five hydro projects located in the northeastern region along the Parnaiba River.

The winning bids that offer to sell power from dams for the lowest possible prices would be required to start generating energy by the year 2015, as per indications from reports.
