In the last 3 weeks, the Amapaense lived with part of the day without energy, since a system of rotation and rationing by regions was established. It was necessary to maintain new habits at home and at work, especially since the schedule was not always kept.
Many neighbors feared the loss of electronics with disconnections and the resumption of light at times outside of rotation. Sleeping was also a privilege.

In an installation process from Tuesday (17), the 44 fuel generators must have the work start accompanied by Bolsonaro. This afternoon, the president must visit the generation sites, in substations in the capital and in the municipality of Santana.
Thermoelectric equipment can guarantee the total return of service gradually, which should be completely normalized on Thursday (26), according to the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque.

Regarding the generators, Marcos Pereira, the general director of the electric power distributor Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá (CEA), did not guarantee the restoration of the service to 100% immediately. For him, this will depend on consumer behavior.
“We are talking about 45 megawatts more than what we already had. It is close to what would be necessary, except that if we have the consumer acting in a very stressed way, using all their ar- conditioning, using other equipment at the same time to use a very large consumption of their equipment, we will have to have rationing ”, he said, in an interview on Thursday (19).
Initially, the federal government gave 10 days to resolve the problem, which did not happen. CEA then promised to end the rotation and resume full distribution on November 26.

The generators will guarantee supply until two more transformers in the state’s main substation are operational again. And then they fall behind to avoid further blackouts.
CEA, which is awaiting the activation of the equipment to distribute this energy, said that the rotation will be suspended, but there will continue to be interruptions in the peak hours: from 14 to 16 and from 22 to 13:30. The CEO even asked for patience while the problem is resolved.
The Federal Court determined that the Macapá Power Transmission Lines (LMTE) – responsible for the Macapá Substation, connected to the National Interconnected System (SIN) and that caught fire on November 3 – has until November 25 to carry out the “solution complete “of the problem.

In the Macapá Substation, there is only one transformer in operation. To ensure power for the entire state, it is necessary to install a second, which must be energized before November 26. In addition, to operate safely in the energy reserve, the state receives a third transformer sent from Boa Vista, which should arrive in December.
The second team, which was in Laranjal do Jari, in the south of the state, arrived in Macapá on Wednesday (18), after a major transport operation, as it weighs around 200 tons. It took more than 30 hours by ferry.
