Dardanelos
The Dardanelos Hydroelectric Power Plant (HHE) is wholly controlled by Neoenergia. The venture went into commercial operation on August 20, 2011. With 4 58 MW generating units and 1 29 MW generating unit, the Power Plant was built on the Aripuanã River, in the state of Mato Grosso.
The project has the best relationship between flooded area and amount of energy generated in Brazil: an installed capacity of 261 MW for a 0.24 km² reservoir. This means that the territory occupied by the plant's waters is very well used for energy generation. The area of influence of the Dardanelos HPP is the municipality of Aripuanã. Since it started operating, the Dardanelos HPP has maintained contracts for the purchase and sale of the energy generated with a pool of 24 distributors in Brazil.

History of the Dardanelos HPP
The environmental viability process of the Dardanelos HPP began in 2003, conducted by Eletronorte. After obtaining the Prior Environmental License, the hydroelectric development auction was held on October 10, 2006, which established as the winner the consortium formed by the companies that make up SPE Energetica Águas da Pedra. On May 3, 2007, Dardanelos received its Installation License, marking the beginning of activities for its implementation.
Investment
Approximately R$ 745 million was invested in the project. Of this amount, Neoenergia allocated R$ 380 million, 65% from third-party resources and 35% from its own.
