The Decree exhorts UTE (national electricity utility) to execute contracts with private companies to acquire biomass energy under certain conditions, without having to issue a public bid. Some of those conditions are: the biomass plant shall generate no more than 20 MW; UTE shall be the exclusive acquirer; the contract's term must not be longer than 20 years; the companies shall be exonerated from payments of fees from the use of distribution grid and transmission grid.
