Global Infrastructure SherpaEquatorial Pará contracts emergency energy supply for Aveiro and Afuá due to delayed SIN interconnection
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. The distributor will proceed with the contracting to address the immediate energy needs of these two locations in Pará. This measure aims to prevent supply disruptions in Aveiro and Afuá due to the delay in their integration into the national grid.
