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

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.

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.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

In Niger, mud buildings have stood for ten generations while the world spends billions on concrete and steel, now African architects are proving at the Venice Biennale and in real projects that red earth can be the smartest and most sustainable building material of the 21st century.

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.

As pollution advances over lakes and threatens aquatic life, a hydrologist in Nepal uses floating islands made of styrofoam, bamboo, coconut fiber, and plants to transform dirt into a living landscape.

Brazilian researchers develop new coating to improve fertilizer utilization and reduce waste in the soil

Changing the 5W30 oil to 10W40 to “compensate for clearances” after the Corolla surpasses 150,000 km can damage the engine, warns a technical consultant.

As the US blocks Cuba’s oil amid national blackouts, China quietly enters the island with solar panels: the country has already installed 50 renewable parks and plans for 92 by 2028, in the world’s largest solar revolution.

Property used as a torture center during the military dictatorship advances in the heritage listing process and may change the memory map in Porto Alegre.
