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.
