Equatorial Pará was authorized by the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) to contract emergency energy and power to ensure supply in the municipalities of Aveiro and Afuá. This emergency contracting is necessary because a timely tender for these municipalities, which are not yet connected to the National Interconnected System (SIN), was not feasible.
