• The majority of potential locations suitable for large hydropower plants are located in the Amazon region, far from the
consumer centers. Environmental issues could avoid the full development of the existing hydropower potential in that
region.
Thermal power generation is the only source capable to provide reliability to the interconnected grid.
Note: Most of Wärtsilä power plants located in the interconnected area have been used as stand-by capacity for the renewable plants
