The Plant With Investments of R$ 1.5 Billion Will Be Able to Generate 400 to 500 Megawatts of Wind Energy

On this Friday (12), the governor of the state of Piauí, Wellington Dias, participated in a meeting with the Secretary of State for Mining, Oil, and Renewable Energies, Wilson Brandão, and some representatives of the company Celeo Redes Brasil. The meeting focused on the construction and installation of the new wind power plant in the state, and Celeo Redes Brasil presented its part of the new investments in energy generation and transmission in Piauí.

The plant will be able to generate 400 to 500 Megawatts of wind energy, and it is expected to be operational by 2024. The plant will be located between the municipalities of Buriti dos Lopes and Bom Princípio do Piauí in the northern part of the state. Investments will range from R$ 1.2 to R$ 1.5 billion. The hiring of local workers will be a priority, which will boost the generation of over 600 jobs.

“In addition to addressing the pandemic, we are working on the goal of attracting investments. Celeo is already involved in an investment of approximately R$ 1 billion with the power line that comes from Maranhão, passes through Piripiri, and heads toward Ceará. There is an investment in solar energy generation in São João do Piauí, producing 200 MW and generating jobs, and now, they announced a new investment in two sites, one also in São João do Piauí for 224 MW, and the other in the Buriti dos Lopes region. Clean energy is a priority in Piauí, and Celeo is an important partner; we will continue to generate jobs and income, a goal of PRO Piauí,” stated Wellington.

According to Howzembergson de Brito, Director of Renewable Energies at Seminper, this project is still in the licensing phase at the Secretary of State for the Environment and Water Resources (Semar) but aims for success after the completion of the works.

“Piauí continues to attract investments in energy, and new projects will be installed. This is already a reality in our state. These investments generate jobs and boost the economy in the regions where they are implemented,” emphasized Brito.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Astronomers discover black hole wind traveling at 323 million km/h, a speed equivalent to 30% of the speed of light and considered a record.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

A man went to the supermarket in China with the salary of a single day’s work, and what he put in the cart will make any Brazilian question why they pay so much to eat so little.

While scientists test giant balls on the seabed, a startup wants to sink concrete and steel tanks held by cages filled with stones up to 700 meters deep to transform compressed air into an invisible underwater battery.

Former NASA engineer transforms drones into “seed helicopters” capable of firing 300 balls per minute, targeting degraded areas with half-meter precision, and planting up to 40 million trees per year in a new race for aerial reforestation.

The La Galerie Nortis, a real estate launch by developers Cyrela and Nortis in Moema, São Paulo, arrives with apartments featuring 4 suites ranging from 283 to 416 square meters, an estimated gross development value of R$ 765 million, and the proposal to redefine the high standard in the region.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.

Farmers swapped diesel for solar panels in Pakistan, powered irrigation pumps almost cost-free, expanded rice fields, and now groundwater has become a red alert in the countryside.
