Belo Monte
On May 5, 2016, Norte Energia S.A., the consortium in which Neoenergia participates, inaugurated the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (UHE). Located on the Xingu River, in Pará, its installed capacity is 11,233.1 MW, and is recognized as the largest 100% Brazilian hydroelectric plant. Currently, the plant has all 24 active generating units (Commercial Operation).
The project uses, in its main reservoir, a preservationist technology known as a water line, which meets the strictest principles of sustainability, respecting and caring not only for the environment, but for local communities.

In August 2010, the president of Neoenergia signed the concession contract for the construction of the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant. The project began to be built in 2011 and was ready to start operating in 2016.
The Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant has a Dam Safety Plan, with actions periodically inspected by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).
The monitoring of the structures, provided for in the Plan, is one of the best equipped in the country. With 1,976 instruments, of 12 different types, a periodic evaluation of the performance of the concrete structures of the 28 dams that make up the Intermediate Reservoir and of the Pimental and Belo Monte dams is carried out.
