generation performance analysis indicates the delivery of 65,904 average MW of power to the National Interconnected System (SIN)
power generation rose 8.1% in April
The electricity consumption in the country grew by 8.4% in April compared to the same month last year, while the generation was up 8.1%, according to preliminary data collected measurement between days 1 and 30. The information is the House Commercialization (CCEE).
According to Hall, the analysis of the performance of the generation indicates the delivery of 65,904 average MW of power to the National Interconnected System (SIN) in April. The production of wind power plants grew 122.5% in the period and reached 3,300 MW, an amount twice that generated last year. Thermal generation, in turn, fell 22.9%, mainly due to the shutdown of higher cost of thermal power plants. Already hydro power (49,964 MW), including the Small Hydro Power (SHP), increased 16.9% which represented 75.8% of all energy produced in the country, a rate 5.1 percentage points higher than in 2015.
The CCEE also shows that the energy consumption, influenced by high temperatures in the Southeast, the presence of holidays in the measurement and full interconnection of Manaus system to SIN, totaled 63,465 MW, 8.4% increase compared to the year past. The increase was recorded both in the captive market (ACR), in which consumers are served by distributors (+ 10.5%), as the free market (ACL), in which consumers buy energy directly from suppliers (+2 1%) .
Among the branches of industry evaluated by the CCEE, including compounders data, free and special consumers, trade sector (+ 24%), beverages (+ 23%) and food (+ 20%) registered the highest increase rates in consumption . The downturn in turn was higher in metallic minerals extraction branches (-22%) and chemicals (-6.7%).
The CCEE also has estimated that hydroelectric members of the Energy Reallocation Mechanism (MRE) manage until the sixth week of April, equivalent to 95.2% of its physical collateral, or 48,639 MW in electricity. For renegotiation purposes of hydrological risk, this percentage was 97.1%.
