Proposal Is the Largest Transmission Project of Neoenergia in Operation and, During Construction, Generated Over 2,000 Jobs and Socio-Environmental Benefits for the Local Population

Neoenergia has just started the commercial operation of the Jalapão Transmission Line, LT 500 kV Miracema – Gilbués II – Barreiras II, which spans from North to Northeast. Now, this line is the longest of the company, passing through Tocantins, Maranhão, Piauí, and Bahia, responsible for increasing the transmission network to expand the exchange of energy between North and Northeast, improving the flow of energy produced at the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Plant (PA), the largest fully Brazilian.

Improvements for the North and Northeast Regions

The Neoenergia project brought economic and socio-environmental benefits to the population of the area between the North and Northeast. Neoenergia resolved, in collaboration with Ibama, an environmental issue that had persisted for over 5 years, allowing for the recovery of the ecosystem in that stretch.

Pedro Herrmann, project manager for the Jalapão project at Neoenergia, emphasizes that “all actions are aligned with Neoenergia’s corporate purpose of promoting sustainable development in our areas of operation. We generated over 2,000 jobs at the peak of the construction, resolved the environmental liabilities, and created a strategy for reusing structures and materials.”

Approximately 4,000 concrete foundations of an unfinished line were removed. The material was used for access to the towers in the municipalities crossed by the Transmission Line, improving the roads. In addition, using some other materials, over 900 basic food baskets were purchased for donation.

Investments in Transmission

Neoenergia has been increasing investments in transmission. The company has over 5,000 kilometers of lines spread across most Brazilian states. Between January and September 2021, it allocated R$ 1.5 billion in investments to the sector. Among the six projects in licensing and construction, the last two undertakings stand out:

Lot 2 of Auction 01/2020, called Morro do Chapéu (BA, MG, and ES), executed by ANEEL in December 2020 – which foresees the construction of 1,091 km of Transmission Line, substation extensions, and a new substation.

Lot 04 of Auction 02/2021 held by ANEEL in December 2021 – which consists of a 500 kV Estreito substation located in Ibiraci, Minas Gerais, and includes three synchronous compensators -300/+300 Mvar.

About Neoenergia:

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 the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

At the top of Chapada Diamantina, a village of stone houses without cement housed 9,000 prospectors at the height of the diamond rush and today has 380 residents among ruins that seem to be from the Middle Ages.

The technique that few know in mining freezes the soil for months to create an underground wall of ice capable of blocking invisible rivers, preventing landslides, and allowing excavations in areas that would collapse instantly.

With over 3,000 horsepower and 472 km/h in Germany, the Chinese electric supercar from BYD has become the fastest electric car in the world, surpassing the Rimac Nevera by 60 km/h.

More than R$ 526 million generated in oil in 2025 was not enough to place Espírito Santo in the lead of innovation — and the data shows exactly where the bottleneck is.

On the coast of China, fishermen received an official reward after finding 10 foreign underwater devices capable of “stealing secrets” in just two years, showing that the silent war for the seabed has already reached the nets of those who rely on fishing.

Forgotten money: Brazilians still have R$ 10.55 billion to receive, and now it is possible to redeem it automatically via Pix with just a few steps.

The government will pay R$ 526 per month to federal outsourced workers with children in daycare, and the amount is the same as what civil servants already receive.

Why are the United States competing for maritime routes in Africa while China is buying up rare mineral mines that supply the entire world?

Those who earn up to R$ 5,000 no longer pay Income Tax since January 2026, and retirees over 65 years old are exempt up to R$ 6,903 in a change that benefits 16 million Brazilians.

Income tax 2026: pre-filled declaration seems like a quick solution, but hidden errors can lead thousands to tax scrutiny without warning.
