600 Jobs Have Already Been Generated with the Great Project of the Gravier Wind Farm in Ceará. The Plant Has About 70 MW of Power

According to information provided by Aliança Energia, with total investments amounting to R$ 294 million and 600 jobs generated, the new Gravier wind farm, which is still undergoing construction in Icapuí, in eastern Ceará – a state that has already invested R$ 50 billion in an offshore wind farm –, is scheduled to start operations this April 2022.

Thus, according to the publication by Victor Ximenes for the portal Diário do Nordeste, dated April 5, during the current stage of the wind farm’s construction, 17 wind turbines are being installed. Each of these wind turbines has a capacity of 4.2 megawatts (MW), totaling over 70 MW of power. Started in January of last year, the construction of the new wind farm in Ceará is already 86% complete, as reported by Aliança Energia, which is responsible for the project.

In this regard, the Wind and Solar Manager of the company operating the wind farm in Ceará, Christian Luz, states that 16 of the plant’s units have already been assembled and structured. In addition, the manager also explained: “The rotor is composed of three blades, each 72 meters long, with a diameter of 147 meters. The concrete tower is the element that supports the weight of the nacelle, generator, and rotor which together weigh approximately 275 tons at a height of 125 meters, equivalent to a 40-story building. The height from the ground to the tip of the blade is approximately 197 meters.”

In view of the great northeastern potential for wind energy production, Aliança Energia also operates another wind farm in the state of Ceará, which has been in operation for about 5 years since 2017: the Santo Inácio Wind Complex, which has 47 wind turbines and an installed capacity of 98 megawatts (MW).

Renewable Energy: International Agency States Need to Invest $5.7 Trillion to Achieve Energy Transition in the Coming Years

On Tuesday, March 29, the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) released the latest version of the report “World Energy Transitions Outlook,” which outlines priority actions for the next 8 years, until 2030, in order to maintain the goal of limiting global warming to up to 1.5°C. According to IRENA’s document, investments of $5.7 trillion per year will be necessary until 2030 for the global energy transition, in addition to redirecting $700 billion annually that would have gone to fossil fuels, avoiding stranded assets. Thus, global additions of renewable energy per year would triple by 2030, following recommendations from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).

Therefore, as reported in the original article by the informative vehicle PetroNotícias, the director-general of IRENA, Francesco La Camera, stated that “the energy transition is far from being on the right track, and any less radical action in the coming years will diminish, if not eliminate, the chances of achieving our climate goals.” To learn more about renewable energy, click here and read this news from CPG in full.
