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.

A village with 115 inhabitants wants new residents: it offers a house, a job, up to 44 thousand euros in benefits, almost free rent, an annual grant of 8 thousand euros for 3 years, and a 20 thousand euro incentive for businesses in the mountains of Italy.

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.

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.

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 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.

After 16 years and almost 600 prototypes, a Chinese inventor unveils the world’s smallest and cheapest manned jet, at just 3.80 meters long and costing US$7.2 thousand in materials.

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.

While diesel ferries still cross São Paulo with millions of cars, the government is preparing electric ferries for 14 crossings, with modernized terminals, new vessels, and a promise to reduce emissions before passengers notice the silent shift in the daily queues.

End of water scarcity: scientists create technology to transform seawater into potable water, while countries build billion-dollar plants to desalinate the ocean

Brazilians who already had a stable life in Portugal are crossing the border into Spain, attracted by higher salaries and an extraordinary regularization that promises to legalize 500,000 immigrants, while the Portuguese approve increasingly tougher laws against those coming from outside.

Brazil has already exported half of the 1.1 million-ton quota of beef that enters China with a 12% tariff, and when that limit is exceeded, the taxation jumps to 55%, forcing meatpackers to stop producing for the Chinese market around June.
