The board of the National Energy Agency (ANEEL) authorized companies Guascor do Brasil Ltda. and Small Hydro Power (SHP) Zé Tunin S/A to act as independent power producers through the establishment and operation of generation projects. The collegiate decision came at a meeting of the board held last Tuesday (07/05). 

Guascor should install thermoelectric plant Cruzeiro do Sul, located in a municipality of the same name, in Acre. The plants have 24 megawatts (MW) of installed power. 

Another company authorized to act as an independent producer was SHP Zé Tunin. To this end, it must deploy and operate the SHP with the same name, located in the municipalities of Guarani and Astolfo Dutra, in Minas Gerais. The plant's installed capacity is 8 MW.
