Did you know?

  • Much of the operation is performed remotely by the CTG Brasil’s Generation Operation Center.
  • Palmeiras SHPP’s generating unit has a “speed increaser” attached to the turbine axis, which raises its rotation from 147 rpm to 600 rpm. This technology permits the use of a more compact piece of equipment with optimized power generation.
