EDP Renewables Decided to Expand Its Field of Action and This Time It Was to Europe, in Its New Wind-Solar Energy Production Project

EDP Renewables (EDPR) continues to innovate in the renewable energy sector, with the installation of its third hybrid wind-solar project, this time in Poland. The pioneering 45 MW photovoltaic park in Konary, in the northwest of the country, marked the start of its operations, introducing a unique approach to combine wind and solar energy at the same location, according to the EPbr website.

EDP’s new venture is a step forward in integrating clean energy sources. By combining an existing wind farm in Pawlowo, with a capacity of 79.5 MW, with the new photovoltaic park in Konary, EDP achieves a remarkable feat. These two complementary renewable sources will be able to share the same grid connection infrastructure, resulting in a more efficient use of resources.

Maximizing Renewable Energy Potential

The synergy between wind and solar energy is an important milestone for the energy transition. EDP has developed specific algorithms to monitor and manage the operation of these two energy sources. This allows them to work together, maximizing the potential of each, supplying electricity to the grid when conditions are most favorable.

Boost for Consumers and Sustainability

Bartosz Fedurek, general director of EDPR in Poland, notes that the hybridization of projects, such as this combination of wind and solar energy, could provide relief to the country’s energy consumers, given the current energy price situation and the need for innovative options to expand renewable capacity.
In addition to this hybrid project, EDPR has been prominent in other areas of sustainable energy. In a global partnership, the company has joined forces with Faurecia, part of the Forvia group, to install up to 100MWp of solar energy in the company’s units in Europe, Asia, and the United States. The initiative aims to install over 60 self-consumption solar parks across various Faurecia factories, driving the transition to renewable energy and the concept of “Energy as a Service.” This partnership, which spans multiple continents, is a testament to EDPR’s ongoing commitment to innovation and sustainability worldwide.

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

This technology could retire washboards and regular washing machines: Xiaomi launches a three-drum washer with an automatic detergent dosing system, washes clothes at 95°C simultaneously, prevents cross-contamination, and costs less than R$ 3,000 in China.

In a country where about 75% of the territory is mountainous and little land is left for planting, Japan has turned scarcity into luxury, selling pairs of Yubari melons for amounts that reached nearly US$ 45,000 and cultivating the true wasabi that 90% of the world has never tasted.

Abandoned boars and pigs in Fukushima create fast-breeding hybrids and turn the nuclear area into a natural laboratory

A bi-oceanic railway is expected to connect the Brazilian coast to the Chinese port of Chancay in Peru and cross the South American continent from coast to coast. It is part of the same package of R$ 140 billion in railways that the government is opening to investors later this year.

Japan is about to launch a satellite that captures solar energy in space and sends electricity to Earth in the form of microwaves. The technology promises to generate energy 24 hours a day without relying on clouds, night, or solar panels on the ground.
