The Works at the Tucano Wind Complex in Bahia Are Set to Begin in October, With the Potential to Create Up to 500 Jobs Between the Construction and Operation Phases

The company AES Tietê will invest R$ 1.3 billion to build the Tucano Wind Complex in Bahia, which will have an installed capacity of 322 Megawatts (MW). The State Government, through the Secretary of Economic Development (SDE), has granted its institutional support for the implementation of the project, which is expected to generate up to 500 jobs at the peak of construction.

The works for the first phase of construction are expected to begin in October, after the approval of legal procedures by the competent bodies, such as the National Electric System Operator (ONS) and the Institute of Environment and Water Resources (Inema).

The operating capacity of each turbine is up to 6.2 MW, totaling 322 MW across the wind farm, with steel towers 115 meters high and blades over 80 meters long, forming a diameter of 170 meters. These are the largest turbines ever installed in the country in terms of power and size, with blades, towers, and nacelles manufactured in Brazil.

The wind turbines will be installed in an area encompassing the municipalities of Tucano, Araci, and Biritinga in Bahia, significantly contributing to the economic and social development of the region.

A social development study of the region influenced by the construction of the wind farm has been initiated by AES Tietê to establish measures that will be implemented in the surrounding cities, aligned with the company’s Sustainability and Private Social Investment guidelines.

“We are eager to start the construction of the Tucano Wind Farm, which will open a new frontier for wind generation in Bahia and contribute to the socioeconomic development of the region,” said Rodrigo D’Elia, Director of Engineering and Construction at AES Tietê.

AES Tietê Has Started Social Impact Studies in Municipalities in Bahia

With billions in loans, China is rebuilding Nigeria’s railway network from scratch, abandoning the British colonial tracks that have turned to scrap and creating a corridor of over 1,300 km to take the load off the roads of Africa’s largest economy.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

Forget petroleum-based asphalt: a Scottish company transforms 684,000 plastic bottles into one kilometer of road that is 60% more resistant and up to 10 times more durable, and the technology has already started replacing traditional asphalt in more than 30 countries.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Spain installs two giant pipelines 2.2 km off the coast to draw water from the Mediterranean and supply a megafacility capable of producing 200 million liters of drinking water per day.

While millions receive Bolsa Família, thousands of Chinese arrive to work in Brazil, exposing the uncomfortable debate about qualification, productivity, employment, and dependence on public money.

Philippines begin construction of the country’s largest desalination plant in a city without enough fresh water to grow, and the 66,500 m³ per day plant will transform the sea into drinking water for 50,000 homes in 24 months with reverse osmosis technology from SUEZ and JEMCO.

The first ammonia-powered cargo ship has already been realized with a capacity of 46,000 m³, dual-fuel engine, and a promise to cut carbon in heavy maritime transport.
