The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) approved the commercial operation of four wind turbines of 3.4 MW from the wind farm Ventos de Vila Paraíba II, in the municipality of Serra do Mel, located in Rio Grande do Norte, totaling approximately 13.8 MW of installed capacity.
Aneel carries out various activities to ensure that the electric sector develops with balance and for the benefit of society. The agency creates the rules for generation, transmission, distribution, and commercialization of energy, as well as promotes auctions and authorizes energy enterprises and services in the country.
In addition to the authorization for the operation of the new wind turbines in Serra do Mel, RN, Aneel also released two generating units of 4.2 MW for testing, totaling 8.4 MW of power, for the operation of the wind farm Vila Piauí III, also located in the same city.
