The project's main purpose is to provide renewable electricity power to the National Interconnected System avoiding thermoelectric plants operation that use fossil fuels as energy source.

The project generates electricity from a renewable source. Unlike large hydroelectric facilities, Sanatana I, a plant with an installed capacity of 14.75 MW, has virtually no environmental impact. This project uses natural resources efficiently and contributes to sustainable development in Brazil.

Quilleco is a run-of-river hydroelectric plant with an effective installed capacity of 70 MW, which uses the waters of the Laja River Basin to deliver energy to the National Electrical System equivalent to the consumption of more than 162,000 people.
