Celeo Redes Brasil, S.A. has commissioned a transmission line connecting the states of Sergipe and Bahia 28 months ahead of schedule, helping facilitate the integration of renewable energy into Brazil’s power grid.
Celeo Redes Brasil, S.A. has brought Lot 06 into commercial operation, marking the completion of a high-voltage electricity transmission project connecting the Xingó substation in the state of Sergipe to the Camaçari II substation in Bahia. Commercial operation began on June 20, 2026, 28 months ahead of the scheduled regulatory deadline, representing a significant acceleration in the project’s delivery.
Lot 06 was awarded to Celeo Redes Brasil, S.A. through the public transmission auction Leilão 1/2023, held in São Paulo in June 2023. The concession provides for a 30-year operating period following the integration of the facilities into Brazil’s National Interconnected System (SIN).
A new transmission link to support renewable energy integration
The project comprises a 355-kilometre, 500 kV double-circuit high-voltage transmission line and associated connection facilities. It has a minimum transmission capacity of approximately 4,800 MVA and required an investment of around BRL 1.3 billion.
The integration of this new link into the National Interconnected System will strengthen transmission infrastructure in the southern part of Brazil’s Northeast region and the northern areas of the states of Minas Gerais and Espírito Santo, facilitating the connection of new renewable generation projects, primarily wind and solar.
With Lot 06 now in commercial operation, the Celeo Group has added another asset to its electricity transmission portfolio in Brazil, helping expand the grid’s capacity to transport renewable electricity.
