In a scenario marked by seasonal challenges and changes in consumption patterns, the ONS (National Electric System Operator) registered in February 7th at 2:15 pm, a new record in instantaneous SIN load demand (National Interconnected System).
The peak reached was an impressive 101,860 MW, surpassing the previous mark recorded on November 14, 2023, which was 101,475 MW.
The exceptional load behavior was attributed to a combination of factors, including the high temperatures that affected different regions of the country and the return to school, resulting in a significant increase in energy consumption.
A notable aspect of this record is the fundamental role played by renewable sources to meet demand.
At that specific moment, renewable energies, mostly represented by hydraulic generation and distributed micro and minigeneration, were responsible for supplying 92.4% of total load.
This achievement highlights the growing importance of clean and sustainable sources in the national energy mix, highlighting Brazil's ability to integrate and take advantage of its diverse energy matrix.
