The Nordex Group, currently considered one of the largest manufacturers of wind turbines, formalized its intention to invest in the state of Rio Grande do Sul.

According to information revealed by the aforementioned state government, the formalization of this intention was made on Friday (19), during the last commitment of the government’s official mission in Hamburg, Germany.

On this occasion, company representatives and Governor Eduardo Leite (PSDB) signed a document aimed at formalizing the intention. This occurred during a visit to the company’s headquarters, which was on the agenda of the Gaúcho government, which conducted an international mission in Germany.

According to the state administration, during the conversation with Nordex representatives, they learned that the company chose to invest in Rio Grande do Sul for various factors. Among them is, for example, the capacity of the installed transmission network.

According to Eduardo Leite, the future of Rio Grande do Sul lies in renewable energies. In this sense, he states that the state has great potential to be explored. “We are prepared to enable the conditions for this and other private investments in the area,” said the governor.

The Role of the Company and the State in the Partnership

According to the document that serves to establish the union of efforts between the parties, Nordex will function to collaborate with local universities to develop research programs in areas of interest and training for local labor.

Moreover, the company based in Germany also signed an agreement aimed at hiring, preferably, local companies and financing through financial institutions linked to the State.

On the other hand, the government of Rio Grande do Sul committed to enabling environmental licensing and the possibility of granting tax incentives compatible with the nature of the venture, through the deferral of the Tax on Circulation of Goods and Services.

Wind Energy in Rio Grande do Sul

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.

GAC launches “Chinese hybrid Kombi” with 7 seats cheaper than Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid in Brazil; for around R$ 177,000 in conversion without taxes, the Trumpchi E8 PHEV has a 2.0 engine, DHT transmission, an electric range of 150 km, and a premium family cabin for those living in China.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
