From January 1 to October 28, 2026, Rio Grande do Norte had the largest wind and solar curtailment in Brazil, 11.21 TWh (33.2% of the total), followed by Bahia (8.74 TWh) and Minas Gerais (4.33 TWh); per-cluster curtailment gated by restriction reason (curtailment ordered by ONS) plus the estimate for plants without data, the Curtômetro counter's yardstick; source: ONS open data, read by BrazilGrid.

Total 2026 = January 1 to October 28, 2026. Last 12 months = October 29, 2025 to October 28, 2026. The "gated per-plant sum" column is the yardstick of the plant pages; it does not add up to the total (method difference).
From January 1 to October 28, 2026, Rio Grande do Norte had the largest wind and solar curtailment in Brazil, 11.21 TWh (33.2% of the total), followed by Bahia (8.74 TWh) and Minas Gerais (4.33 TWh); per-cluster curtailment gated by restriction reason (curtailment ordered by ONS) plus the estimate for plants without data, the Curtômetro counter's yardstick; source: ONS open data, read by BrazilGrid.
Over the last 12 months (October 29, 2025 to October 28, 2026), the ranking is Rio Grande do Norte (13.72 TWh), Bahia (9.97 TWh), Minas Gerais (5.08 TWh), Piauí (3.76 TWh), Ceará (3.28 TWh).
In Rio Grande do Norte, from January 1 to October 28, 2026, ENE — Energy (oversupply) accounted for 53.2% of curtailment (5.96 TWh).
Because ONS computes curtailment per plant cluster and BrazilGrid totals on that yardstick. Summing plant by plant gives a different number (method difference), shown in the last column only to match the plant pages.
