The Wind Energy Enterprise Is the Santo Agostinho Wind Farm, Which Is Being Built in the Cities of Pedro Avelino and Lajes, in the State of Rio Grande do Norte and Its Capacity Is 434 Megawatts

On February 16, the project’s schedule and investment plans from Engie Brazil Energy were presented. There will be 70 wind turbines with a height of 170 meters and they will have the capacity to produce 6.2 MWh per unit at Santo Agostinho. This is equivalent to three times the wind energy that the current equipment is capable of producing. Future investments from Engie Brazil Energy planned for the next five years in Rio Grande do Norte amount to R$ 6.5 billion.

About Engie Brazil Energy

Engie Brazil Energy established itself in Rio Grande do Norte in 2017. The company has two operational enterprises, Floresta, located in Areia Branca, producing 101 MW, and Assu V, which produces 30 MW. Future enterprises will be solar parks. According to the presented schedule, the first generator will begin operating in September 2022. According to the president of Engie, Eduardo Sattamini, the company is characterized by long-term investments, partnerships, and social responsibility.

As the largest private energy company in the country, Engie operates in the generation, transmission, and commercialization of electricity, energy solutions, and gas transportation. Engie holds the most extensive natural gas transportation network in Brazil, covering 4,500 kilometers and passing through 191 cities in 10 states due to the acquisition of TAG.
According to Tribuna do Norte, the electric matrix of Rio Grande do Norte consists of 87% renewable and clean sources. Rio Grande do Norte has five of the seven sources of energy generation sold in the country. There are 443 enterprises for energy generation, coming from solar, wind, biomass, hydropower, and natural gas.

Rio Grande do Norte Government Presents Proposal for the Application of EIA-RIMA to Wind Farms with Over 150 MW

In a new proposal, the Rio Grande do Norte government suggests that new wind energy projects with a capacity above 150 megawatts present environmental impact studies and reports (EIA-RIMA). The proposal counters a recommendation from the State Attorney General’s Office (PGE-RN), which proposed studies for new projects over 10 megawatts (MW).

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Brazil already has the largest electric buses in daily operation in the world: Goiânia has put 28-meter giants from Volvo on the streets to transform urban transport, placing the country at the center of a new showcase for urban mobility.

NASA announces the first interplanetary nuclear spacecraft in history destined for Mars and technology created to usher in a new era in deep space exploration: meet the SR-1 Freedom, equipped with a fission reactor and three helicopters inspired by Ingenuity to map Martian ice.

With 93 companies selling armored vehicles, aircraft, and monitoring systems to 148 countries, Brazil’s defense industry is doubling exports and is on track to break all records in 2026.

Brazil and Sweden finalize a military agreement to jointly train pilots, share experiences with the Gripen fighter, and allow Swedish crews of the KC-390 to train on Brazilian soil over the next two years.

Scientists warn that Earth’s oxygen has an expiration date and that the Sun itself will be responsible for ending the air we breathe by making photosynthesis impossible in about one billion years.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.

British engineers cool air until it turns into liquid, store energy for weeks, and create an “invisible battery” capable of sustaining the power grid when the wind stops and the sun disappears.
