Approximately 20% of the energy from EDF Renewables’ park was sold in the 04/2019 generation auction to the regulated sector, with the remainder secured through the signing of PPAs in the free market. It is worth noting that, in addition to creating various job openings in Paraíba, the Serra do Seridó park will prevent the emission of approximately 208 thousand tons of CO2 per year into the atmosphere.
