With information available today, the production of wind origin in the month of April reaches 4,666 GWh, 5.7% higher than the same period last year, and accounts for 24.8% of total production.

In the month of April and according to estimated data, generation from renewable energy sources represents 41.9% of production.

67.3% of electricity production this month comes from technologies that do not emit CO2.
