In Another Investment in the Wind Energy Sector, Elecnor Plans to Build New Wind Farms in Three Regions of Bahia

Elecnor has secured the construction of a new wind power plant in the state of Bahia, which will have about 52 turbines and an investment of 44 million euros (approximately 284 million reais). Specifically, the wind farms of Tucano, Araci, and Biritinga that were created by AES Brasil.

Elecnor will be responsible for the Balance of Plant (BOP), civil, and electrical construction for the first phase of the wind power investment. BOP is a term generally used to refer to all supporting components and auxiliary systems of a plant. The operations planned in the contract include the foundation of 52 turbines of 6.2 MW, which will be supplied by Siemens Gamesa.

The wind turbines that are part of the investment will be built on steel towers reaching 115 meters in height and will have wind blades of 80 meters, forming a circumference of 170 meters in diameter. They are the most powerful and largest turbines ever installed in wind sector investments in Brazil. The project is expected to be completed next year (2022).

Wind Energy in Bahia

In the wind energy sector, Bahia generated approximately 12,590.21 GWh just in the year 2020, according to the National Electric System Operator (ONS).

Last year, the start of operations of 17 new plants helped the state maintain its top position in energy production from wind sources in the country. For the second consecutive year, the Bahia territory has been ranked first nationally in both renewable sources. The state government has been working hard to attract investments that contribute to consolidating this outcome.

About Elecnor

With origins in Spain, Elecnor is currently one of the leading global companies in engineering and construction projects and has made several investments in renewable energies in recent years.

Elecnor is present in 53 countries across five continents and has a particular influence in Latin America, where it has 9 stable markets. Brazil, among all countries, is the most important in terms of business figures, number of people, and investments, with approximately 1,200 employees.

About Elecnor

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.

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.

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 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.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Viaduct used every day by cars, buses, and pedestrians in the center of a São Paulo city becomes a legal case after a report indicates “imminent danger,” cracks, corrosion, and high lethality risk.

Project created by a UFS student defeats European competitors in an engineering award held in Paris and highlights the advancement of Brazilian science with an innovative solution, developed in a public academic environment and recognized by international experts in the technological field.

The seemingly endless sand is disappearing: the world extracts 50 billion tons per year from rivers and beaches, a volume comparable to 19,000 pyramids of Giza, while mafias profit, islands disappear, and city concrete is threatened until 2050.

Scientists drill 8,000 feet of ice in Antarctica and race against time before the hole freezes over again to bury the world’s deepest seismometers and turn the South Pole into a giant ear for earthquakes across the entire planet.

Rice in space becomes a scientific bet for China to understand how microgravity can alter the genetics of the most important grain for Asian food security and reveal if future generations of the plant can be born, grow, and maintain their biological identity away from Earth.
