The decree promotes the execution of contracts for the acquisition of wind electricity. The decree also states the main guidelines for the execution of such contracts, which must be preceded by auctions developed by UTE (National Electricity Utility). This decree auctioned 150MW for wind power, providing that a further 150MW would be auctioned in a future phase in order to reach the 2015 goal of 500MW of renewable energy, as proposed by the government (of which 300MW is wind).
