Uma grande construção de 1.800 km está quase pronta no meio da Amazônia para levar energia estável ao Norte do Brasil. Quando ficar pronta, ela vai acabar com os apagões e ajudar milhões de pessoas que hoje ainda vivem com energia fraca ou cara.

Historic Project Aims to End the Energy Isolation of the North and Reduce Dependence on Polluting Sources

With over 70% of the work completed, the construction of the Tucuruí Power Line is set to connect Roraima to the National Interconnected System (SIN), solving decades of blackouts and instability in energy supply. The structure, spanning over 1,800 km, crosses the Amazon and will definitively link the far north of Brazil to the national electrical grid.

The Importance of Construction for Energy Security in the North

Roraima is currently the only Brazilian state outside the national electrical system. Since 2019, it has depended solely on diesel-powered thermoelectric plants, a costly and highly polluting alternative. The construction of the Tucuruí Power Line emerges as a definitive solution to provide clean, stable, and economical energy to the region. According to Transnorte Energia, the work is expected to be completed by September 2025, with full energization by December of the same year.

Construction Involves Complex Engineering and Innovative Logistical Solutions

The project includes seven double-circuit transmission lines, totaling about 1,800 km in length and supported by over 3,600 metal towers. One of the biggest challenges was crossing the Amazon River, with spans exceeding two kilometers. In areas of dense forest, helicopters were necessary for transporting parts and manually constructing trails. More than 30,000 tons of galvanized steel were used, according to data from the Urbana channel.

Energy and Economic Transformation for Roraima

The expectation is that the completion of the Power Line will transform the energy landscape of Roraima, which currently relies on over 1 million liters of diesel per day. Integration into the SIN will reduce costs, lessen environmental impacts, and boost economic and social development. For millions of Brazilians in the North, the construction of the Power Line represents more than an engineering project — it symbolizes dignity, security, and the future.
