Favoring More Than Half a Million Customers and Generating Several Jobs, Enel Rio Announces a Package of Works in Its Distribution Network in 2021

On Thursday (1), Enel Rio announced a package of works in its distribution network in 2021, which promises to generate several jobs and also announced the delivery of the Maria Paula Substation, which will operate in the cities of São Gonçalo.

ENEL – More Than Half a Million People Benefited

Enel Rio invested a total of R$ 20 million and will benefit approximately 765 thousand people in the two cities with the works, and will also promote the generation of several new opportunities. According to Anna Paula Pacheco, president of Enel Rio, the works create greater well-being for the population and also demonstrate the company’s commitment to improving the quality for its customers.

The concessionaire plans to carry out 31 expansion works and modernize 27 substations located in the concession area. According to the Person Responsible for Infrastructure and Networks at Enel Rio, Mihai-Constantini Peste, the substation will be managed and operated remotely by the operations center, eliminating the need for a physical operator. Approximately R$ 18 million was also invested in the LT Campos/Mombaça.

Future Networks

All these works that promise to generate several jobs are part of the Future Networks project, which aims to strengthen Enel Rio’s concession area with modern distribution equipment.

Enel has more than 6,400 remote-controlled devices installed in the network and will install another 400 in 2021. The technology allows for the quick and remote detection of potential faults in the network caused by external factors.

With these devices, it will be possible to remotely restore service to the affected area in a few minutes, reducing the number of customers without power.

Over the past two years, Enel has invested approximately R$ 1.5 billion in modernizing its network, connecting new customers, automating, and combating losses. In 2020, the Icaraí Substation was modernized and the Itamarati LT was expanded, not to mention the completion of works in Ilha Grande, in Angra dos Reis, which created several jobs, benefited more than 2,500 customers, and received investments of R$ 35 million.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Norway is drilling 27 kilometers of rock 392 meters below the bottom of a fjord to build the world’s largest and deepest underwater road tunnel — when completed, a 21-hour journey will be reduced to 10.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

After 14 years of construction and a diplomatic crisis that nearly led to a military confrontation over control of the Nile, Ethiopia inaugurated the largest hydroelectric power plant in Africa — the dam is 170 meters high, holds 74 billion cubic meters of water, and generates 5,150 megawatts.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

Mayor Nilda of Parnamirim decrees a state of emergency after devastating rains caused flooding and a drainage collapse, and activates the Armed Forces in an urgent operation to prevent the crisis from worsening.

Renewable energy could change forever: an ultra-cheap iron battery created by Chinese scientists could be the key to more accessible, efficient, and dominant clean energy worldwide soon.

What is hidden at the bottom of Lake Paranoá is impressive: an entire village with houses, objects, and cars has remained submerged since 1959 in Brasília.

At just 14 years old, a teenage prodigy created a turbojet engine from scratch at home and surprised the world of science by turning his own bedroom into the stage for an engineering feat that few people would imagine seeing at that age.

The ghost condominium that has been sinking for over 40 years in Rio de Janeiro has partially buried ten-story buildings, once housed thousands of people without infrastructure, and is now associated with structural risk and being a body dumping ground.
