		<description><![CDATA[You are getting this  slightly wrong. The 2.7 GW is the total capacity entered for the previously fixed solar-only A3 auction on November 18. The government has discretion abou the amount it awards. This auction is experimental pump-priming, and it´s unlikely that the awards will be anything like the total bid. The new announcement is the admission of solar projects to the much larger general A-5 auction on December 13.  Solar developers have ben agitating for this as they think that they can now compete on level terms. The A3 bids can be resubmitted easily for the A5. However, the target production date for A5 projects is 2018 (which hydro needs). So if they feel like it solar bidders can take a flyer on likely further falls in costs. Source: www.pv-magazine.com/news/..

It´s also worth remembering that the awards under the last auction for wind were linited by grid connection capacity in the Nordeste, not price (which is now below anything else). The same constraint applies to utility solar.

Definitely to follow. But still no news on rooftop in Brazil, in spite of the new net metering law. The Dilma admniistration has no appetite for taking on incumbent utilities - they are a good part of its patronage and funding base.]]></description>
