Wind Power Project with Wind Turbines Involves Addition of 82.8 MW of Installed Capacity at Lagoa do Barro Wind Farm

CGN Brasil Energia signed the main contracts for the expansion of the Lagoa do Barro wind farm (PI – 195 MW) last week, as a result of the Sub-Portfolio Energy A-6/2019. The project entails an increase of 82.8 MW of installed wind capacity, with an investment of R$ 444 million for Piauí.

Over 60 Wind Turbines in the New Wind Power Park

In operation since the end of 2018, the asset currently has 65 wind turbines distributed across wind farms over an area of 2,854 hectares.

The company reported that the expansion will begin later this year, with commercial operations expected to start in 2021, providing an estimated annual electricity generation capacity of 366 thousand MWh.

About Investment in Wind Energy

If there is one thing to be proud of and to take advantage of for building wealth, creating jobs, and improving income conditions in Piauí, it is the production of wind and solar energy. This is what the governor of Piauí, Wellington Dias, states, highlighting that Piauí has 14 wind and solar energy production parks with investments of R$ 18 billion, achieving a production of 2 gigawatts (GW).

He stated that Piauí is 8 degrees from the Equator, making the sun strong enough for energy generation, with sufficient sunlight and rays for solar energy generation, and a higher than average number of favorable hours for solar energy generation per day compared to Brazil and the world.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
