The Generation of Solar and Wind Power Is One of Cemig’s Main Objectives, An Area Commonly Known as “Greenfield”

The Brazilian Cemig (Companhia Energética de Minas Gerais) plans to invest R$ 3.1 billion (US$ 540 million) in 2021, an increase of 62.4% compared to last year, the company announced on Monday during a webcast for investors. As in 2020, most of the capex (R$ 2.32 billion) will be allocated to the electricity distribution segment. The remainder will be invested in transmission (R$ 276 million), generation (R$ 238 million), and acquisitions.

One of the current government’s goals is to invest in wind and solar energy generation projects. In September 2020, the state-run Minas Gerais company launched a public call for acquiring advanced-stage projects.

“Our focus is on greenfield [projects], leveraging our technical and marketing capabilities, but that doesn’t mean we can’t look at mergers and acquisitions,” said Cemig’s president, Reynaldo Passanezi Filho, during the webcast.

About two months after selling its stake in Light, headquartered in Rio de Janeiro, Cemig announced that it had begun studying the divestment of Transmissora Aliança de Energia Elétrica (Taesa).

“It is very important for Cemig to focus on the businesses it knows best. We are going back to basics and want to have control [over the projects],” said Passanezi Filho.

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows in Argentine Patagonia the exact point where a colossal glacier, a turquoise-blue lake, and a greenish arm of water meet, creating one of the rarest and most impressive landscapes in the region.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

It has 26,000 tons, 173 meters in length, and produces 100,000 liters of water per day: the HMNZS Aotearoa is the largest ship of the Royal New Zealand Navy, combining hybrid propulsion, a polar hull, and functioning as a complete logistics base between the Pacific and Antarctica.
