On February 11, the middle generation in YES (National Interconnected System) reached the mark of 2,242 average MW – which represented 3.2% of demand. The following day, on February 12, the record was surpassed after reaching 2,339 average MW.
On the same day, the Northeast subsystem exceeded 1,462 average MW, which represented 13.4% of the region's demand. This result surpassed the level reached three days earlier, on February 9, which had recorded 1,428 average MW.
Already the Southeast/Central-West subsystem reached an instantaneous generation record on February 13 at 11:10 am, with 2,379 MW, an amount equivalent to 5.4% of the load consumed by the region at that time.
However, the following day, on February 14, at 1:20 pm, a new milestone was reached in the same subsystem, this time at 2,502 MW.

According to data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), solar energy currently represents around 4.08% (7.78 GW) of the total energy generated in the SIN.
This is a significant growth in the source in the country, as this percentage was 2.97% in August 2022 and just 0.1% in 2016.
