(SeeNews) - Nov 26, 2013 - Brazilian electricity sector watchdog Aneel cleared local mining giant Vale SA (BVMF:VALE5) to reduce the planned capacity of its EOL Santo Inacio V wind power plant to 12 MW from previous 17.6 MW, according to a decree published in the State Gazette yesterday.<br /> The facility located in the municipality of Icapui, northeastern Ceara state, has already been allowed to operate as an independent power producer.<br /> Independent power producers are able to sell their surplus energy and distribute energy to large consumers, paying concessionaires for the use of transmission lines. The main difference between independent producers and concessionaires in Brazil is that the first operate at their own risk.
