In September, the Brazilian demand of 898 GWh and represented almost a third of the 2,930.6 GWh accumulated in nine months, thus exceeding the historical maximum of 2,700 GWh obtained throughout the whole of last year.
The 898 GWh exported to Brazil, at an average value of US $ 287.1 per MWh, meant a foreign exchange income of US $ 257,815,800.

In February that demand remained high, for 498.9 GWh (495.2 from Brazil and 3.7 from Uruguay) at US $ 85.6 per MWh, generating revenues of US $ 41,935,440.
But for March there was a decrease and 72.6 gwh were exported (61.8 to Brazil and 10.8 to Uruguay) at a value of US $ 82 per MWh, leaving a balance of US $ 5,953,200; and in April it fell even more to 12.2 GWh (7.2 Brazil and 5 Uruguay) at the same value of the previous month, which added US $ 1,000,400 to the export account.
May was a particular month, without electricity exports, but in June shipments of 87 GWh only to Brazil were resumed, with an average value that increased to US $ 138.2 and thus translated into revenues of US $ 12,023,400 .
Finally, in July demand increased again, which meant the shipment of 161.2 GWh to Brazil at a price that climbed to US $ 165.2 and meant foreign exchange for US $ 26,630,240 for the country.
