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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

The coastal El Niño is not the classic El Niño, but it already raises a question in Brazil: can the phenomenon alter rain, heat, and winter?

The commander of the Brazilian Army publicly admitted that the country now perceives real threats in South America, something that, according to him, did not exist in the past, and advocates for the increasing use of drones and technology to secure the borders.

In China, even those who beg on the street already have a QR Code, paper money has practically disappeared from daily life in just ten years, and the entire country has come to live on invisible payments via mobile phones.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Scientists considered detonating 213 nuclear bombs in the Sahara to create an artificial sea the size of El Salvador, with each explosion being a hundred times more powerful than the Hiroshima bomb, and the goal was to generate more energy than Egypt’s largest hydroelectric plant.
