An important point to be highlighted is the predominance of the states of the Northeast and South, in the generation of wind energy. Altogether, wind farms had an energy generation of 4.220 average MW in April, which corresponds to a 17% increase compared to the same month last year. The numbers prove the source's growth trend, even with the 11,8% drop in the total energy generated in the National Interconnected System (SIN).
In April, energy consumption dropped 11,9% compared to 2019, from 65.186 average MW to 57.442 average MW.
The regulated market dropped 11,3% to 40.473 average MW, while the free market saw demand drop 13,2% to 16.970 average MW, a behavior explained by consumer migration and isolation measures to combat the coronavirus.
