The expansion of the wind energy sector in Bahia and Piauí until mid-November totaled 3.934,81 MW released by the National Electric Energy Agency.
According to data from the agency, in November five new wind farms were registered, which together add up to 155,4 MW of installed capacity with wind turbines, divided into two wind farms, one in Bahia and the other in Piauí.

Despite this growth, thermoelectric plants were by far the ones that grew the most in the electricity sector this year, basically due to the entrance of UTE Porto de Sergipe in March, which placed 1.500 MW in the SIN. In the year, there are 2.034 MW of wind power that started to operate in Brazil in states such as Bahia and Piauí.
The wind energy sector that has the greatest predominance in Bahia and Piauí can be considered the second with 1.115 MW distributed in 34 projects, followed by photovoltaic solar with 628 MW in 16 plants, 15 PCHs that added 156,16 MW and a CGH with 1 MW. There were no new UHEs launched this year in Brazil.

With the result, Aneel points out that there are over 379 MW to start operating in the last 45 days of the year in different states, this time Bahia and Piauí will be left out. Almost in total, or 338,85 MW of wind energy, plus 28,20 MW of solar energy and another 11,89 MW of thermoelectric plants. Thus, the year should end with 4.313 MW of new plants. In the last 10 years, it is the third lowest volume in new plants, behind 2012 with 3.982 MW and 2011 when the country had 4.199 MW installed.
However, in the next two years the forecast is that the volumes to start operating will accelerate again. In 2021, 7.139 MW are projected and 13.564 MW in the following year, which, if confirmed, will be the highest level of new generation capacity since the beginning of the historical series measured by Aneel, started in 1997.
