Abstract: Energy auctions are increasingly being used to meet the energy needs of many countries.These auctions have been studied extensively, as it is widely agreed that their design elements have a major impact on auction outcomes.These studies analyze the relationship between auction design and outcomes, usually from the perspective of the auction regulator.In our study, we propose to analyze such designs from both the bidder’s and the intermediary’s perspective.As a case study, we describe and analyze the main factors that led a woodchip project to win a public energy auction, with drawbacks in the reference price formula for projects that require inflexible generation, mainly biomass projects.We then propose a more in-depth analysis and optimization of the bid price control formula, arriving at results that point to some weaknesses in the control formula or in its underlying rules

Abstract: The Amazon biome has experienced significant changes in its landscape, similar to other tropical forests, primarily due to changes in land use in the area. Despite previously established strategies to contain the advance of deforestation, we have observed an increase in deforestation rates recently. Our objective was to analyze deforestation in the biome using clustering and spatial analysis methods to understand deforestation patterns and spatio-temporal dynamics. Regions 1 and 2 stood out as priority areas for monitoring and combating deforestation. Human settlements, agricultural land, and undesignated public forests characterize these areas. Deforestation in these areas presents a significant level of seasonality in its mode and dynamics. The results emphasize that annual deforestation changes require strategies addressing territorial differences. Therefore, prevention and intervention measures must be adapted to seasonal variations and the specific characteristics of each region to combat deforestation in the Amazon biome effectively
