The Modernization Project Included the Replacement of the Entire Alternating Current Auxiliary Electrical System, as Well as Other Supplies at the Hydroelectric Power Plant in Minas Gerais

Renewable energies are becoming the new normal. To drive its energy transition, Brazil can rely on extensive potential sources of renewable energy. Ranked third in the world in “green” electricity generation, it is especially active in hydroelectric power generation.

For 14 Months, Omexom Carried Out the Transition from the Old to the New System While the Plant Was Still in Operation, Generating the Least Possible Impact on Renewable Energy Production.

The scope of the modernization included the replacement of the entire Alternating Current Auxiliary Electrical System, as well as some of the most important supplies for the main systems of the plant, such as the spillway, ventilation for the step-up transformer, generator operator control, synchronization compensators, and the cooling and adjustment of the protection system for the generating unit. Over 90 racks for electrical panels were supplied in the main scope.

About Omexom

Omexom, a VINCI Energies brand dedicated to energy transition, is positioned throughout the value chain, from generation to transmission and distribution networks and the end consumer meter.

Located in 36 countries across five continents, from rural areas to large urban centers, Omexom helps promote access to electricity, ensure supply security, and develop sustainable energy. Since then, the brand has continued to expand. Today, its international network brings together 400 business units.

About Omexom

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.

Mercedes has created an electric motor with over 1,000 horsepower that weighs only 12.7 kilograms — less than a suitcase and with the highest power density ever recorded.

At over 8 meters tall and resembling a trunk, this creature dominated the Earth 400 million years before the dinosaurs — and science still doesn’t know what it was.

China inaugurates a 24 km monster that is a bridge, tunnel, and museum at the same time — and 90,000 cars pass through it every day.

Oil at the center of global disputes and historical transformations

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.

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.
