The Investment Was Made, With The Approval Of The CADE, To Acquire Ventos De Santo Antão, With About 4 Wind Farms For Clean Energy Generation!

The CADE, after the approval of its general superintendent, validated the sale of Ventos De Santo Antão to the Portuguese multinational clean energy company, Galp, which will become the owner of the 4 wind farms available in Rio Grande do Norte. Each wind farm has 50 MW. Along with the investment, Galp will also possess the greenfield project, which was developed and sold by Casa dos Ventos.

This new venture by Galp is part of its strategy to expand its renewable energy generation portfolio, given that the company is already one of the main producers of solar photovoltaic energy in the Iberian Peninsula, with an installed capacity in operation of 1.2 GW. The company’s main objective with the investment is to increase its capacity for renewable energy production globally to 4 GW by 2025 and 12 GW by 2030.

Galp’s Investments in Brazil

In Brazilian territory, the Portuguese company began its activities in the national renewable energy generation sector in October 2021, through an agreement with SER Energia to purchase 594 MW in solar projects under development in Bahia and Rio Grande do Norte. In May 2022, the company closed a new agreement with SER Energia for the purchase of projects under development in solar photovoltaic energy, with a total maximum capacity of 4.6 GW peak. Now, Galp’s investment was in Casa dos Ventos, for a cluster of 216 MW of wind farms under development in the Northeast.

The new owner of Casa dos Ventos is also the third largest producer of oil and gas in Brazil, through Petrogal, which it manages in partnership with the Chinese company Sinopec. The Portuguese oil company, a partner of Petrobras in essential pre-salt fields like Tupi, has ten-year contracts with Sergas (SE), Cegás (CE), and, since September, also with the Espírito Santo gas distributor, ES Gás, as in the same month, Galp signed its third long-term contract for the sale of natural gas in the Brazilian market.

The contract with ES Gás now totals 912 million m³ of gas supply until 2032, with volumes able to be gradually increased over the contractual term. The estimated total value exceeds R$ 1.9 billion. This is the first time ES Gás will have another supplier of natural gas besides Petrobras.

The Growth Of Wind Energy In Brazil

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

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.

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.

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.

While Japan is seen as a global symbol of cleanliness, entire houses taken over by garbage expose loneliness, aging, and a legal barrier that prevents quick actions by municipalities.
