• Understand the causes and consequences of power outages in the state.

The president’s visit was announced on Thursday (19), amid requests for removal from the directors of the National Electric Power Agency (Aneel) and the Operator of the National Electricity System (ONS), which was denied by the Regional Court Federal (TRF) of the 1st Region.

The delegation accompanying the president is made up of the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque; by the Prime Minister of the General Institutional Security Office (GSI) of the reserve Augusto Heleno; by the president of the National Congress, Senator Davi Alcolumbre (DEM / AP); by the governor of Amapá, Waldez Góes (PDT); and other authorities.

Bolsonaro is expected to take advantage of the trip to sign the provisional measure that establishes social assistance – by exempting the payment of the electricity bill – for consumers in the state affected by the blackout. The signing was not included in the official agenda until Saturday morning.

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.

The 44 fuel generators must have the work start accompanied by Bolsonaro. Thermoelectric equipment can guarantee the total return of service gradually, which should be fully normalized only on Thursday (26), according to the Minister of Mines and Energy, Bento Albuquerque.

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 energy distributor, called Companhia de Eletricidade do Amapá (CEA), has already reported that it does not guarantee the restoration of 100% service immediately and said that rotation will be suspended, but there will still be interruptions at peak hours: from 2:00 p.m. to 2:00 p.m. hours. 4pm and 10pm to 1:30 am.

The CEO even asked for patience while the problem is resolved.

Understand in the video below, in 7 points, the blackout in Amapá:

Thermoelectric generators will guarantee supply until two more transformers in the state’s main substation are back online. And then they fall behind to avoid further blackouts.

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.
