The Certel Cooperative Will Invest R$ 30 Million in a Substation in Linha Clara, Teutônia, Which Will Strengthen the Power Supply for Thousands of Members and Enable Integration with a Wind Farm on Morro da Harmonia.
The Certel confirmed the investment of R$ 30 million in a new electricity substation in Linha Clara, in the interior of Teutônia, as reported this Monday, 29. The project, which will have a 26 MVA transformer, was planned to meet the growing demand of the region and also benefit nearby municipalities, such as Poço das Antas, Imigrante, Westfália, and São Pedro da Serra.
Strategic Location Tied to the Future of Wind Energy
The choice of location was not a coincidence. The land is directly connected to the project of a wind power station on Morro da Harmonia, still in the planning phase. According to the cooperative’s vice-director, Daniel Sechi, the infrastructure will allow for the flow of energy produced by the future plant.
“The transmission line, when implemented, will pass through Linha Clara, which will allow for dispatching the generated energy. This project has been thought out for years, with technical studies that confirmed the technical and energy viability of the location,” highlighted Sechi.

Stability and Quality in Power Supply
In addition to the connection with renewable energy, the substation will meet an immediate need: the concentration of electrical load in the center of the cooperative’s operational area. As Sechi explains, the chosen point coincides with the region that most records an increase in consumption. This positioning is essential to ensure greater stability and quality in the supply to members.
Of the total amount of R$ 30 million, about R$ 15 million will be directly applied to the construction of the substation. The remainder will be allocated to the reinforcement and modernization of transmission lines. The Certel, which currently serves more than 77 thousand members and grows by an average of 3 thousand new customers each year, expects to begin construction in January 2026, with an estimated completion in mid-2027.
