That's the general overview, they also have a specific blog post on the recent figures that the ap news story draws on:

metalman•4mo ago
they are useing fossil fuel for 10% of grid electricity now, which means they are primed to move most of there transportation sector to electric and then go after manufacturing given that 56% of there generation comes from hydro they can add solar and wind,and treat hydro as a battery and grid load balance and scale as big as they want and very good news from an environmental standpoint
vitorgrs•4mo ago
Fossil will be reduced a little now too, as State of Roraima is now be connected to Brazilian grid. Before, it had to use thermoelectric and/or buy Venezuela electricity. This week news actually.

Would you happen to know if any thermal plants are scheduled for retirement with this transmission being energized?
vitorgrs•4mo ago
Didn't find any direct news mentioning specifics thermal plant being retired because of this, but I found several news of thermal plants being retired in the region (because some cities in other states in Amazon region were not connected).
toomuchtodo•4mo ago
Thank you! Interestingly, it also appears this transmission line is will allow Brazil to disconnect their synchronous interconnect with Venezuela (due to a combination of poor grid performance and power cost compared to domestic hydropower), while exports are being considered at the same time.

> Another highlight was the transmission line's excess capacity, which currently transports four times more energy than Roraima's current consumption. This surplus provides the conditions to boost the state's economic development and opens up trade opportunities with neighboring countries and even the Caribbean.
