In this sense, the ADME published the daily consumption report, in which it is observed that the demand of the 21 stood at 1,526 MW during Tuesday, of which 34% was imported from the Rio de Janeiro country, while 49% was wind thanks to the greater winds that were registered. The remaining 7% corresponded to the thermal.
However, this scenario was not the one that prevailed during the day: during the morning hours, the import of energy exceeded 50%. That is, more than half of the demand in the country.
The import landscape
From UTE they confirmed that the electricity purchase plan will continue until at least well into winter, as dam volumes remain well below what is necessary, as costs of producing energy in thermoelectric plants It is very high due to the necessary diesel.
With little expectation that flows in the dams will recover to necessary levels, and with no significant rainfall forecasts for either account, the government will continue to authorize the import of electricity from neighboring countrieswhose production exceeds the consumption they are having.
