Curtailment: Elera obtains injunction to avoid million-dollar losses

The decision is preventive in nature and will remain in force until ANEEL complete the third phase of Public Consultation No. 45/2019

Elera Renováveis, a subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, obtained a court injunction to prevent millions in losses resulting from the interruption of generation at nine plants in the Alex Solar Complex, in Ceará.

The decision is preventive in nature and will remain in force until the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) judge the istrative process presented by the company in August 2024 and conclude the third phase of Public Consultation No. 45/2019.

Elera seeks the right to maintain its energy sales revenue without adjustments resulting from the curtailment, which could generate a financial impact of more than R$46 million on February 20, a value that represents more than 30% of the plants' annual revenue.

The company argues that generation cuts are determined by the ONS (National System Operator) to control the SIN (National Interconnected System) and, therefore, “are not restrictions due to the fault or responsibility of the generating agent”.

The injunction was granted last Tuesday (18) by substitute federal judge Manoel Pedro Martins de Castro Filho, of the 6th Court of the SJDF (Judicial Section of the Federal District).

The Alex Solar Complex is made up of the Alex I and Alex III to X photovoltaic plants, each with 30,9 MW of installed capacity, totaling 278,4 MW in the municipalities of Limoeiro do Norte and Tabuleiro do Norte, in Ceará.
