While Cerro Chato, in the southern state of Rio Grande do Sul, was authorised to start three of its six 2MW turbines, Pedra Preta, in the northeastern state of Rio Grande do Norte still lacks a connection to the grid.
Cerro Chato V's other turbines are already undergoing tests and should start commercial operations in the coming days.
It is part of the 90MW expansion of the Cerro Chato complex, which also includes the 10MW Cerro Chato IV, 30MW Cerro Chato VI, 8MW Cerro dos Trindade and 30MW Ibirapuitã I.
