Hydroelectric Power Plants
< 40 >
Our hydropower generation complex
comprises nine hydroelectric power
plants (HPPs) and three small
hydroelectric power plants (SHPPS),
which are part of the Energy
Reallocation Mechanism (MRE), a
financial structure for sharing the
hydrological risk. Our plants account
for almost 2% of this system's entire
hydro physical guarantee.
Four of our nine plants operate with
reservoirs (storage plants), while the
others run on stream (run-of-river
plants). The dispatch by hydroelectric
plants in the ERM is determined
by the National Electrical System
Operator (ONS) and, in 2022, it was
higher than in the previous year, due
to higher rainfall in the period, when
compared to the adverse hydrological
scenario recorded throughout 2021.
