Engie Celebrates Records in Distributed Wind Energy Generation

The month of August was marked by record registrations in the distributed wind energy generation in Northeast Brazil. On August 6, ONS reached over 71% in the distributed wind energy generation index, about 9,049 MW on average, an index that would be sufficient to supply energy for more than 94% of the electricity demand of the entire Northeast region, according to ONS data.

In a statement, Engie emphasized that its generation parks located in Ceará and Bahia, which have a total of nearly 900MW of installed capacity, contributed.

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.
