The Northeast Has a Total of 9,163MW in Distributed Wind Energy Generation
The Northeast region recorded a new record in distributed wind energy generation, totaling 9,163MW on average, during the night of last Saturday (28), claims the National Electric System Operator (ONS). According to the ONS , this amount is more than enough to supply wind energy for about 86.6% of the electricity demand of all the states that make up the Northeast region.

Record Celebrated Due to High Availability of Wind Turbines
Thanks to the wind turbines and the planning that allocates maintenance downtimes, this performance can be celebrated. In addition to the team, the power plants also benefit from 24-hour supervision by the Generation Operation Center, located in Florianópolis (SC), where the company’s headquarters is situated.
