O ONS (National Electric System Operator) and the Eletrobras CGT Eletrosul reported that they completed the reenergization from the 525 kV Itá-Gravataí Transmission Line, late this Sunday afternoon (19).  

The measure provides greater reliability in meeting the load demands of the Rio Grande do Sul, especially the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, at a time when part of the SIN infrastructure (National Interconnected System) is still affected by the impacts of heavy rains from the beginning of the month.

In all, 25 transmission lines in Rio Grande do Sul still remain out of operation, in addition to eight transformers and four plants. Among the operating network assets affected by the floods and which returned to operation are: ten lines and seven transformers, according to the ONS. 

In a note, the body highlighted that it has been holding meetings with local generation and transmission agents, to monitor reservoir levels and coordinate hydraulic and electrical operations, aiming to manage floods and the region's transmission system.
