O ONS (National Electrical System Operator) registered last weekend, July 23rd and 24th, six new records of the generation of solar energy It is wind in Brazil. 

Among the results is the generation of solar energy in the Northeast region, which, on Saturday (23), reached the mark of 1,118 MW in average generation. 

This is a volume that represents around 10.3% of regional demand. The previous record was 1,086 MW, on July 20th. 

In instantaneous generation, the subsystem's milestone was 3,107 MW, at 10:33 am last Saturday, against 2,985 MW on the 20th. This generation represents 31% of regional demand. 

In addition to the northeastern subsystem, other solar energy records were recorded in the YES (National Interconnected System), which presented an instantaneous generation peak of 4,194 MW, at 11:56 am last Saturday.

This record represented 6.9% of the demand for the entire SIN. The previous record registered on the 20th of this month was 4,046. 

In average generation, the SIN exceeded 1,451MW on July 20, reaching 1,484 MW, which represented 2.3% of the system's solar energy demand. ​

Wind energy

On Sunday (24), the ONS registered the first record of the year for average wind energy generation in the Northeast subsystem, where 12,494 MW were computed, against 11,907 MW from the last record, on August 6, 2021.

“Wind generation records over the weekend represent more than 120% of demand in the Northeast. In instantaneous power generation, there was a peak of 14,473 MW on Sunday, at 10:12 pm. The previous record was 14,167 MW, on July 8th of this year”, highlights the ONS.
