Advancement in Renewable Energy with Construction Start

Statkraft, a global leader in hydropower and the largest renewable energy generator in Europe, announces internal approval for the construction of two innovative hybrid solar projects in Bahia. The projects, Brazil Hybrid Solar, VSE Hybrid Solar, and MdC Hybrid Solar, mark the company’s official entry into the solar energy sector, with operations expected to start in 2025. This development, entirely conceived in-house, includes a pioneering approach with battery integration using BESS technology.

Integrated Wind and Solar Complex

The VSE Hybrid Solar and MdC Hybrid Solar projects will be connected to the Ventos de Santa Eugênia and Morro do Cruzeiro wind complexes, respectively. With a combined capacity of 228 MWac, they represent a milestone in the group’s renewable energy generation. The Ventos de Santa Eugênia Wind Complex, the largest project of the group outside Europe, is in its final construction phase in Bahia, with the capacity to generate 2,300 Gigawatt-hours (GWh) annually, enough to supply over one million Brazilian households.

Innovation and Sustainability

In addition to the Ventos de Santa Eugênia complex, Statkraft is also constructing the greenfield wind complex Morro do Cruzeiro, which is expected to generate 386 GWh of renewable energy per year. Fernando De Lapuerta, CEO of Statkraft, highlights the importance of these projects for the company’s strategy, reflecting its commitment to accelerating the energy transition and integrating different technologies into a single complex.

Aneel Authorization and Strategic Planning

The company has already received approval from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) for the implementation of these solar projects. They fall under Aneel’s regulations for hybrid plants, leveraging the complementarity of wind and solar power generation facilities. Construction is scheduled for the first half of next year.

About Statkraft

With 5,700 employees in 21 countries, Statkraft positions itself as a global leader in hydropower and the largest generator of renewable energy in Europe. The company, headquartered in Florianópolis, controls 18 renewable generation assets in Brazil, including the recent acquisition of Enerfín. As one of Brazil’s largest wind power generators, Statkraft exceeds 2GW of installed capacity in the country. The company is pioneering the offer of traceable renewable energy with origin guarantees in Brazil, certified by I-REC.

Conclusion: Towards a Sustainable Future

With these new hybrid solar projects, Statkraft reinforces its leadership role in renewable energy generation. The company continues to expand its portfolio, integrating innovation and sustainability, and stands out as a key player in the global energy transition. Statkraft’s commitment to clean and efficient energy production strengthens its position as a visionary company in the renewable energy market.

Conclusion: Towards a Sustainable Future

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

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.

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.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Described by astronauts as one of the most unlikely natural phenomena on Earth, the Okavango Delta spreads over up to 15,000 square kilometers in the middle of the desert and transforms Botswana into a living labyrinth of channels, islands, and flooded areas.

Light blue, black, red, or green-yellow wire? Understand what each color indicates in electrical installation and why confusing phase, neutral, and ground can become a risk inside the house.

Brown scar tearing through the blue of the ocean seen from space stretches over 8,000 km in the Atlantic, reaches the route of Northern Brazil, and raises an alert about sargassum on the beaches.

The woman who heard a silent alert in the villages of Kenya and transformed the lack of firewood, water, and food into a movement that began with simple seedlings and grew to over 51 million trees planted.

Brazil launches the new national identity in Paraguay, where more than 250,000 Brazilians live, and the document eliminates the need for a passport in 8 South American countries and provides access to 5,000 digital government services.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

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.
