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.

Energy and Economic Transformation for Roraima

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

Bricklayers off the scaffolding? New system uses autonomous drones to position bricks and apply adhesive in the air, creating walls with two flying robots working as a team.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
