Many Jobs for Bahia! Siemens Signs Billion Dollar Contract to Install 70 Turbines at the Santo Agostinho Wind Farm – RN, from French Engie

Good news for Bahia, Siemens Gamesa (SG) took advantage of the recovery of the renewable market in Brazil and secured its second major contract in the country in two months. The Siemens subsidiary will supply the French company Engie with 70 turbines of the 5.X model, which will be built at its factory in Camaçari – BA and can generate many jobs in the region. SG’s first contract in Brazil was for the 312 MW Tucano Wind Farm signed in April 2020.

The equipment will be implemented at the Santo Agostinho wind farm, located in the State of Rio Grande do Norte. The energy complex will be able to generate 434 MW.

The 5.X platform achieves one of the highest powers in the onshore wind segment thanks to its large rotors. The combination of these factors allows it to achieve “one of the most competitive energy costs in the market,” according to sources from Siemens.

“This agreement highlights how attractive the Siemens Gamesa 5.X platform is becoming globally, and we are pleased to continue developing a close partnership with Engie in Brazil. Furthermore, the country is truly becoming a beacon for wind energy in Latin America,” said Lars Bondo Krogsgaard, CEO of Siemens Gamesa’s Onshore business, a system that sets prices and provides stability for operators, who should not have to focus on market price fluctuations.

Siemens adds contracts of 1.21 GW in Brazil with the 5.X turbine. Globally, there are 2.2 GW with the same model. A very significant volume in this industry and achieved in less than two years since the commercial launch of the wind turbine.

And most importantly, Siemens Gamesa will build the new turbines in Brazil, at its factory in Camacari, in the State of Bahia, and can generate jobs in the region. Brazil ranks seventh in the wind energy market in the world, with 17 GW of installed capacity.

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.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

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.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

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.

The new Chevrolet SUV arrives in May with a turbo engine, ADAS technology, and a new brand look; find out everything about the Chevrolet Sonic.

Went viral: Humanoid robot takes action against wild boars, scares residents, and becomes a symbol of a new urban response in Europe.

The 2026 olive harvest in RS skyrockets and promises 1 million liters: after two bad years, the weather helped, 110 municipalities are harvesting, and Brazilian olive oil is trying to become a source of pride in the domestic market.

Brazil participates with its own satellite in a BRICS space network that has already mapped millions of square kilometers, and now the bloc wants to go further with new missions, radar for the Amazon, and even flights to the Moon.

A survey shows that Samsung phones cost up to 36% less in Paraguay than in Brazil, but before crossing the border, you need to add the cost of travel, accommodation, IOF, and store fees that can eat up all the savings that seemed guaranteed.

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.
