Statkraft Completes Assembly of Wind Turbines at Morro do Cruzeiro Wind Farm in Bahia. Project Will Include Hybrid Solar Generation Starting in 2024, Expanding Renewable Energy.

Statkraft completes the installation of wind turbines at the Morro do Cruzeiro wind farm in Bahia. The project will incorporate hybrid solar generation starting in 2024, expanding renewable energy production. The Norwegian company, a reference in the energy sector, demonstrates its commitment to sustainability and innovation by investing in clean energy sources for the future.

In addition to being one of the leading renewable energy producers in Europe, Statkraft stands out for its global presence in clean energy. With the completion of the turbine assembly at Morro do Cruzeiro, the company reinforces its position as a leader in sustainable energy, strengthening its commitment to the energy transition and combating climate change.

Statkraft Wind Farm Project Enters Operational Phase

Next, the procedures for the operational start will begin. According to Samuel Thomae, Project Manager at Statkraft, the completion of this stage symbolizes overcoming a hurdle for the construction team. ‘The presence of winds, although crucial for wind energy production, was a significant challenge that we managed to overcome during assembly.

Hybrid Project of Renewable Energy Company Under Development

Still in 2024, the prestigious energy company will start a hybrid project, integrating solar generation into the venture, with the implementation of the Morro do Cruzeiro Solar complex. Fully conceived ‘in-house’, the project innovates by using batteries with BESS technology, sharing the same connection point for wind and solar generation.

Construction of Hybrid Project in Morro do Cruzeiro Underway

The construction phase of the hybrid project in Morro do Cruzeiro began in late May, with the mobilization of the construction site and an expected completion date in August 2025. Morro do Cruzeiro is a greenfield wind project, representing an expansion of the Brotas de Macaúbas Wind Complex, an active Statkraft asset in operation, located in Bahia.

Expansion of Wind Farm Brings Significant Energy Benefits

The expansion of the wind farm will feature 14 turbines and an installed capacity of 79.8 MW. Due to the excellent wind conditions in the region, the project is expected to generate 386 GWh of renewable energy annually, enough to power more than 190,000 homes.

Ventos de Santa Eugênia Wind Complex: A Milestone for Statkraft

Recently inaugurated by the green energy company, the Ventos de Santa Eugênia Wind Complex is considered the largest wind project of the Group outside Europe. Spanning an extensive area of 489.18 hectares, the complex houses 14 wind farms, totaling 91 turbines of 5.7 megawatts each. The annual production of renewable energy is estimated at 200 Gigawatt-hours (GWh), enough to supply 1.17 million Brazilian households.

About Statkraft’s Leadership in the Renewable Energy Sector

With over 6,000 employees in more than 20 nations, Statkraft stands out as one of the leaders in hydropower at the international level and the largest producer of renewable energy in Europe. In Brazil, the company positions itself as one of the leading wind energy generators, exceeding the mark of 2 GW of installed capacity, among projects under construction and operation.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

A factory video in India goes viral showing workers wearing helmets with cameras to train an artificial intelligence that will eventually replace these same employees on the production lines.

In the South Atlantic, three isolated volcanic islands cause the wind to draw perfect spirals visible from space: a rare phenomenon called von Kármán vortex streets forms symmetrical patterns behind the peaks of the South Sandwich Islands and was recorded by the NOAA-20 satellite in 2025.

Created to cling to ships like a lamprey, the new U.S. underwater drone sleeps on the ocean floor, launches torpedoes, and recharges itself with the current.

Inmet issued a danger alert for 363 municipalities in the South of Brazil with a forecast of winds up to 100 km/h, heavy rain, and hail, which could knock down trees and cut power this Thursday.

Scientists warn that 28 major US cities are silently sinking, threatening thousands of buildings, bridges, roads, and dams with damage that may only appear when it is already potentially catastrophic.

An American nuclear submarine fired a single torpedo at an Iranian frigate in the Indian Ocean and sent it to the bottom — it’s the first time the United States has done this since the end of World War II, in 1945.
