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.

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.

The probe that passed by Saturn nearly 20 years ago captured something that no one expected — and only now have scientists deciphered complex organic molecules coming from an ocean hidden beneath the ice.

Before mining the ocean floor, scientists found 24 unknown creatures at 4,000 meters — including an entire superfamily that science had never seen before.

In the asteroid belt, an “impossible comet” is releasing water vapor where it shouldn’t exist, and the James Webb telescope has revealed that primordial ice has survived for billions of years in a region that could rewrite the origin of water on Earth.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
