ONS, National Electric System Operator, Presented Strategy to Preserve the Furnas Reservoir and UHE Mascarenhas de Moraes

ONS, National Electric System Operator, presented a proposal to operate the hydropower plants of Furnas and Mascarenhas de Moraes, aiming to reduce the decline rate of storage capacity by 2020. According to the recommendations of the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the proposal also provides for the gradual restoration of the reservoirs of the plants starting at the beginning of the rainy season.

On September 24th, during the fourth meeting of the working group for assessing the conditions of the project reservoirs, ONS announced its strategy regarding the operation of the plants, which considered the multiple uses of water. The operator believes that by November, the operational height of the plant can be maintained at around 2 meters, which will help to restore the reservoir more quickly in the future.

The working group is supervised and coordinated by the National Water Agency, MME, Ministry of Tourism and Infrastructure, ONS, National Electric Energy Agency, Furnas, Municipal Association of the Furnas Lake, State Councilors of Minas Gerais, and various civil society representative institutions.

Furnas:

The Furnas Hydroelectric Plant was the first plant built by the Company, from which it inherited its name. The dam is located in the middle course of the Rio Grande, in the stretch known as “Corredeiras das Furnas,” between the municipalities of São José da Barra and São João Batista do Glória, in Minas Gerais. It has an installed capacity of 1216 MW.

Mascarenhas Moraes:

The history of the Mascarenhas de Moraes Plant, formerly known as Peixoto, dates back to 1947, ten years before the founding of FURNAS, when the Companhia Paulista de Força e Luz (CPFL) faced the threat of exhausting its generation capacity. Its capacity is 476 MW.
