- Optimal stock level, enabling efficient equipment replacement
- Anticipation of preventive maintenance
- Start of the maintenance internalization process at Ventus
1 - Availability of only 1 out of the 2 transformers in the complex, limiting the maximum availability to ~55%; 2 - In March, the reserve transformer was replaced and energized to begin the repair of the damaged one. Following the energization, Ventos do Araripe's availability remained above 95%.
