This represents a 40% increase in total generation, compared to the previous year (in October 2020, the total generation was 852 mln. kWh). The increase in generation on a yearly basis comes from the increase of 104% and 43% in hydropower, and wind power generation, respectively. Meanwhile, there was a 44% decrease in thermal power generation.

On a monthly basis, generation increased by approximately 8% (in September 2021, total generation was 1101 mln. kWh) (Figure 1). The monthly growth in the total generation is caused by an increase of 41%, 37%, and 3% in thermal, wind and hydropower generation, respectively.
