Since 2005 , the Brazilian New Energy Auctions provided the construction and installation of more than 13 GW of installed capacity of thermal power plants in the National Interconnected System . About 45 % of this capacity refers to low plants Cost Variable Unit - CVU ( less than R $ 200 / MWh ), 27 % refers to plants of moderate CVU ( between R $ 200 / MWh and R $ 500 / MWh ) and 28 % relates to high CVU plants ( greater than R $ 500 / MWh ). All these plants were extremely important as they have been fully dispatched to complement the low hydroelectric production observed in the Brazilian power system since 2012 .
