In The First 45 Days Of The Year, 15 New Power Plants Were Authorized For Operation, Including Wind Farms, PCHs, And Thermal Power Plants

According to Aneel – the Brazilian National Electric Energy Agency, in the first 45 days of 2021, 15 new plants were authorized for commercial operation, reaching 191 MW of installed capacity. Among the new plants that were granted to operate, 9 are wind farms, 3 are PCHs – Small Hydroelectric Power Plants, and 3 are thermal plants.

Energy Generation Capacity:

Wind energy sources produced 155.20 MW, followed by PCHs with 27.60 and 8.61 from thermal plants.

According to Aneel, the country is expected to reach a total of 4,977 MW of installed capacity within this year. The majority will come from wind energy resources, estimated to reach 1,738 MW, followed by thermal energy resources of 1,693 MW, solar energy resources of 1,101 MW, biomass energy of 395 MW, and hydro sources at just 48.88 MW.

Voltalia Starts Construction Of The Wind Power Plant In Bahia That May Generate 1,500 Jobs

Voltalia Energia do Brasil has started construction of a wind power plant in the municipality of Canudos in Bahia, and it is expected that up to 50 direct jobs will be generated during operation and 1,500 indirect jobs during the construction of the wind power plant, which will have an installed capacity of 99 Megawatts (MW) with great potential for expansion.

The new plant in Bahia shows Voltalia’s ability to replicate a successful business model that made the 2.4 gigawatt Serra Branca cluster the largest wind and solar cluster in the world. This strategy consists of developing a large and competitive set of projects in the same location, aiming to retain some projects and sell others, all benefiting from economies of scale. The total estimated potential for Canudos is 1 gigawatt.

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.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

China opens the world’s first school where more than 100 humanoid robots from different brands will study together, each movement will be repeated up to 600 times a day and the data will feed a collective brain that will teach all the robots of the future.

Cambodia has started digging a nearly 180-kilometer canal to connect the Mekong River directly to the sea and reduce its dependence on the ports of neighboring Vietnam.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.

In North Korea, residents take bottles, plastic, fabric, paper, and metal to recycling shops and exchange waste for products as sanctions, closed borders, and a more than 80% drop in trade with China pressure the country to replace imports.

An illegal mountain of waste 6 meters high and 10,000 tons has emerged in England, threatens to catch fire, could cost millions to remove, and exposes how illegal dumping has become a business for criminals.

Speed radar installed in a hidden village in the Dolomites becomes the protagonist of a million-dollar revenue and places small Italian towns at the center of a national controversy.

While the world rushes to mine lithium from Congo and Chile, Brazil sits on one of the largest reserves and has barely begun to explore.
