Last Friday, on the 27th, Cemig, through its subsidiary, Cemig Intelligent Solutions in Energy, acquired around 49% of the seven plants dedicated to solar energy generation, through photovoltaic solar sources.

The Cemig group, founded in 1952, contains hundreds of solar energy companies and stakes in more than 20 plants spread across the states of Brazil. The purchase of the plants is in favor of the Distributed Generation and Solar Energy market, totaling an installed capacity of 29.45Wp, with an investment of over R$ 50 million.

The Emborcação Plant, located in Minas Gerais, in the municipality of Araguari, received certification through the “International Renewable Energy Certificate Standard” (I-REC). This is a certificate that states that the energy produced by Cemig’s plant comes from a renewable source.

Cemig SIM, a unit of the state-owned company Cemig that is focused on solar energy generation and distribution, plans to double its generation capacity by 2020, expanding its clientele, according to Cemig’s president in a statement to Reuters.

In Brazil, Solar Energy Production Mode Has Grown Rapidly Since 2015

The mode of solar energy production has seen significant growth in the country since 2015, supported by regulatory incentives that make power plant systems, especially solar energy, an attractive option for investment, not only for companies but also for consumers.

The subsidiary’s CEO, Danilo Gusmão Araújo, stated that the company is expected to end 2020 with participation in plants that will amount to around 52 MW in capacity, compared to 30 MW currently.

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

New microwave that can replace three appliances hits the market: Sharp launches 3-in-1 model that combines air fryer, convection oven, and heating in 0.9 cubic feet for small kitchens

Small on the outside and surprising on the inside, the Emerald prefabricated house draws attention by featuring a full kitchen, luxury bathroom, dishwasher, smart climate control, thermal and acoustic insulation, and mobility for less than 8,000 euros.

End of an era: Volkswagen is set to end production of one of the last heirs of the Gol in Brazil after more than 40 years and over 1.6 million units sold

Canadians are disappearing from the United States: The US feels the absence of Canada financially, while hotels, casinos, and tourist destinations try to attract visitors back with promotions.

It seems like science fiction, but it already exists: a Swedish electric boat uses a car battery, carbon fiber hull, and smart hydrofoils to fly over the water and travel 105 km in almost total silence.

Trump’s visit to China could reveal a future that scares workers: dark factories, robots working non-stop, and industrial jobs disappearing before the eyes of the United States.
