With an investment of R$ 1.6 billion, the Campo Largo 2 Wind Farm consists of 86 wind turbines that have gone through a testing operation period, and has a total installed capacity of 361.2 MW.

When operating at full capacity, ENGIE will total 1,262.8 MW of installed capacity in wind energy in Brazil, which represents over 1,000 MW just in the state of Bahia, in addition to consolidating the company’s capacity in renewable energies and expanding the company’s portfolio, given that Campo Largo 2 increases the energy supply in the Free Contracting Environment.

On January 15, ENGIE announced the start of the implementation of the Santo Agostinho Wind Farm, located in the municipalities of Lajes and Pedro Avelino, 120 km from Natal, in Rio Grande do Norte, through the signing of the contract for the supply of wind turbines with Siemens Gamesa. Civil works are scheduled to start in June 2021, with an expected investment of R$ 2.2 billion.

Additionally, the Group operates in Brazil in the commercialization of energy in the free market and is among the largest companies in distributed photovoltaic generation. The company also has a complete portfolio of integrated solutions aimed at reducing costs and improving infrastructure for businesses and cities, such as energy efficiency, monitoring, and energy management. With 3,000 employees, ENGIE had a revenue of R$ 10.5 billion in the country in 2019.

With the acquisition of TAG, ENGIE is now also the owner of the most extensive natural gas transportation network in the country, with 4,500 km, crossing 10 states and 191 municipalities.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Argentina’s TV erupts and fires back: “the minister is selling us out to the Brazilians” after a snow campaign becomes the target of mockery.

A Brazilian municipality relies on 97% federal money, has 14 secretariats, 11 councilors, and a budget of R$ 131 million, but only 915 people are formally employed, and no one knows how the other 25,000 live.

Japan teaches the world how giant arched gates weighing up to 530 tons protect Osaka from devastating typhoons, block storm surges in minutes, and drain 330 m³/s to prevent urban flooding.

One of the biggest mudslides ever recorded on the Trans-Amazon Highway trapped trucks, cars, and motorcycles at the same spot for three consecutive days while a tractor with a winch tried to free them one by one under the rain.
