Month of Records in Wind Energy for the Northeast
The Month of August 2020 Was Characterized by Wind Energy Generation Records with Wind Turbines in Northeast Brazil. On August 6, the system Achieved a Capacity Factor of Approximately 71.6%, Producing an Average of 9,049 MW, Enough to Meet 94% of the Electric Energy Demand for the Entire Region, According to Data from the National Electric System Operator (ONS).
ENGIE Was Part of This Milestone with Its Plants Located in Ceará and Bahia, Which Add 899.3 MW of Installed Capacity. On This Day, ENGIE, Through Its Wind Farms in the Northeast, Produced Approximately 754 MW on Average, Representing 8.3% of All Wind Energy Generated in the Region. ENGIE’s Umburanas Wind Farm Achieved a Capacity Factor of 94% on a Record Day.
