Proposal Aims at Implementing an Offshore Wind Farm in Rio Grande do Norte, Covering 300 Km² with 52 Wind Turbines of 12 MW Installed Capacity, Plus Two Substations

The offshore wind energy park construction project in Rio Grande do Norte is getting closer to starting! BI Energia presented details of the proposal’s scope to the State Government in a virtual meeting held last Thursday (03), and it was established that the Memorandum of Understanding will be signed among the stakeholders within two weeks.

Among other topics, representatives from Bi Energia discussed issues and licenses to be followed with environmental agencies, such as Idema (Institute for Sustainable Development and Environment of Rio Grande do Norte) and Ibama (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources).

Wind Potential of Rio Grande do Norte

Rio Grande do Norte is one of the states in the Northeast with the highest potential to host wind energy projects in the country. Currently, RN has 164 plants operating, 19 under construction, and another 84 contracted projects, where construction has not yet begun and has an installed capacity for generating 4,450 MW of energy.

According to the state’s governor, Fátima Bezerra, RN has been increasing its capacity, including through partnerships and investments like those from Bi Energia, and continues to lead the ranking of wind production in Brazil.

About Bi Energia

BI Energia is a Special Purpose Company (SPE) designed for constructing Brazil’s first offshore wind farm. The company is part of the BI Holding Participações e Investimentos group, which focuses on energy production and generation.

The BI Energia project is located in Caucaia-CE, between the ports of Pecém and Mucuripe, and is designed to supply approximately 25% of the state’s energy needs. This experience with projects in Ceará has accelerated offshore wind projects in Rio Grande do Norte.

About Bi Energia

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.

Workers were opening a new road connection near the Marginal Tietê when they found, in the underground of the construction site, remnants of locomotives, wagons, and boilers from the 19th century linked to the forgotten history of Lapa.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

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.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

China has deployed snake-shaped robots to slide along power lines, where they have already inspected over 130 kilometers of cables using cameras and sensors to detect damaged wires, worn-out parts, and overheating.

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.

Balneário Camboriú buries 3,700 segments in a mega project worth R$ 53 million to try to curb flooding at Praia Central, but the flood solution changes access to Avenida Atlântica and disrupts drivers’ routines for 30 days.

A supercomputer predicts who will win the World Cup and which player will take the Golden Boot, but the projection leaves Brazil far from the expected prominence.

Dissatisfied with seeing women outside the major breweries, a South African revives ancestral tradition, creates a brand with African ingredients, and trains new female brewmasters.

Why the letter password marked ATMs in Brazil: technology seemed complicated, became an extra layer of security, and is now losing ground to biometrics

Archaeologists find a face carved in stone in Kazakhstan and the discovery raises curious questions about ancient tombs, ancestors, and mysterious rituals of the Bronze Age.

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.

Migrant workers left the world’s largest renewable energy park in India after extreme heat, 12-hour shifts, delayed wages, and poor accommodations at a site that still promises to supply 18 million homes.

Taiwanese fishermen accepted offshore wind turbines in the name of clean energy, but now they say that old routes have disappeared, fish have decreased, and income has become uncertain on the coast.
