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:
-
Saudi Arabia is building in Oxagon a US$ 8.4 billion mega green hydrogen plant with 4 GW of solar and wind energy, 5.6 million solar panels, and capacity to produce 600 tons per day, transforming the desert into one of the planet’s largest clean fuel factories.

Germany and Denmark will transform Bornholm into a Baltic power island, connecting 3 GW of offshore wind power to the grids of the two countries via submarine cables and turning a real island into an international energy hub.

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.
