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.

Stability and Quality in Power Supply

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

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.

A public school student single-handedly created a machine capable of treating water for up to 50 people using only solar energy. It was awarded third place at one of the most important science fairs in the world.

BRAM Offshore is hiring for officer, technician, analyst, and manager positions in RJ and Aracaju, offering benefits, CLT employment, a hybrid work model, and the opportunity to work for a company with over 70 specialized vessels in the Brazilian offshore oil and gas maritime sector.

Swiss-led researchers warn that tourism on melting glaciers may be destroying exactly the landscapes that visitors want to see before they disappear, and that geotextile covers and helicopter flights only exacerbate the problem instead of solving it.
