CCEE Data (Electricity Trading Chamber), State Sets Record in Wind Power Generation

A state in the Northeast, Rio Grande do Norte is in first place in the ranking of states with the highest installed capacity of commercial wind farms in Brazil, with 4,358.38 MW.

The data was released by the CCEE – Electricity Trading Chamber – and refers to April 2020. The first five states on the list that concentrate the most generation capacity through wind power are:

  • Bahia
  • Ceará
  • Rio Grande do Sul
  • Piauí

An important point to highlight is the predominance of the Northeast and South states in wind power generation. Overall, wind power generated 4,220 average MW in April, which corresponds to a 17% increase compared to the same month last year. The numbers confirm the growth trend of this energy source, even with an 11.8% drop in total energy generated in the National Interconnected System (SIN).

In April, energy consumption fell by 11.9% compared to 2019, from 65,186 average MW to 57,442 average MW.

The regulated market showed a decrease of 11.3%, to 40,473 average MW, while the free market saw demand decrease by 13.2%, to 16,970 average MW, a behavior explained by the migration of consumers and the isolation measures to combat the coronavirus.
