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

The oldest tree in the world, alive since before the birth of Jesus Christ, is cut down in a scientific study and the case changes environmental preservation rules.

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 in Brazil a 10-story building takes 2 years to complete, in China a company stacks pre-fabricated modules and raises the entire building in just 28 hours and 45 minutes.

An entire island in the Pacific wants to surround itself with a colossal barrier against the ocean to try to escape increasingly violent waves and not be swallowed by the sea in the coming decades.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

Peru built a tunnel at an altitude of 4,738 meters cutting through the Andes Mountains, and the road leading to it reaches 4,818 meters, making it the highest paved road in the entire world.

Scientists are baffled by the discovery of a bizarre arachnid preserved in amber for 35 million years and reveal a surprising climatic past of Europe.

A 20-year-old Brazilian leaves law school at USP to help in the war in Ukraine and is now missing after months in combat, prompting action from the Itamaraty, the embassy in Kiev, and his family in Greater São Paulo.

Tax reform: September is the deadline for 22 million companies under the Simples Nacional.

Road at 4,173 meters in Pakistan only opens 4 months a year.

The bulb does not need to be replaced: an accessory compatible with any type of socket is starting to arrive in Brazilian homes and transforms ordinary light points into smart lighting without breaking walls, without renovations, and without rewiring the electrical installation.

Brazil becomes a member of the IEA and could become a protagonist in ocean energy by accessing advanced technologies, attracting international capital, and accelerating the transformation of the energy matrix.
