The electricity produced will be transported by a 43 km transmission line to the Gentio do Ouro II substation, operated by José Maria Macedo de Eletricidade (TJMME).

In Trairi, Ceará, Eólica Serra do Mato Energy has received authorization to install and operate the Serra do Mato III (47.3 MW) and IV (54.1 MW) solar photovoltaic plants. 

The plants will be connected to the Pecém II substation, operated by Chesf. 

The construction of the São Vitor and Serra do Mato plants is scheduled to begin in April 2022, with commercial operation expected to start in December of the same year. 

According to the local association Abeeólica , by the end of October, Brazil had 17 GW of wind capacity across 12 states. It projects more than 26.9 GW by 2024, considering the auctions already held and contracts signed in the free market.

The solar photovoltaic energy association Absolar  reported in early October that Brazil had 6.7 GW in operation using this source, or 1.7% of the country’s electric matrix.
