The Investment of the Itaipu Plant Is Related to the Furnas Systems That Have Been Operating Since 1984 and Are Already at the End of Their Useful Life

The Furnas transmission system in Foz do Iguaçu (PR) will receive an investment of R$ 1 billion from the Itaipu Plant. The announcement that this funding would arrive in Foz do Iguaçu was made on Monday (15), during a revitalization operation of these assets, which will last about five years.

Agreement and Convention of the Plant

The convention was already signed, and the first transfer to Furnas, in the amount of R$ 161 million, was made on December 30, 2020. Now, the projects and the bidding process need to be developed to continue the process. The agreement has a duration of 60 months and will assist in the modernization of equipment at the converter station in Foz do Iguaçu.

Considerations on the Project

Pedro Brito, president of Furnas, stated that the project is more than essential for the company to continue operating and maintaining the pioneering HVDC transmission system of Itaipu, with great safety and efficiency. The expectation of the president of Furnas is also to reduce the need for high investment after the project is completed.

Is a smart plug worth it in a regular home? What does it offer: turns on and off via smartphone, creates routines by schedule, prevents forgotten devices, sometimes monitors consumption, and improves habits without renovation or miracles.

Geographers redefine the Brazilian relief and confirm the presence of mountains in 14 states with a new system that changes historical criteria and alters the way the territory is classified.

Archaeologists have discovered a colossal submerged wall in the Atlantic, dating back 7,000 years and weighing 3,300 tons, regarded as the largest prehistoric submerged structure ever found in France.

There is a city in China right next to Hong Kong where people speak Portuguese, the streets have names in Portuguese, and the architecture looks like it came straight out of a historic city in Brazil.

At over 8,800 meters above sea level, the summit of Mount Everest is made up of rocks that originated at the bottom of an ocean about 500 million years ago and were pushed to the highest point on Earth by the collision of tectonic plates.

Most drivers make a big mistake on the road without knowing: there is an exact speed that makes the engine work with minimal effort and saves much more fuel, and it is neither 80 km/h nor 100 km/h as many imagine.

MetSul issues alert for 72 hours of severe weather in the South of Brazil with an extratropical cyclone, a line of instability, and a cold front that will hit Rio Grande do Sul from Monday to Wednesday with strong winds and heavy rain.

Mechanic explains: Ferrari 296 has a hybrid system management failure that can drain the high-voltage battery to an “irrecoverable” point in the car; recovery requires charging cell by cell on a bench, is risky, and the battery can cost R$ 250,000 imported.

Army military bases in the Amazon will gain solar power plants that promise to eliminate almost 11 thousand tons of CO2 in 15 years, and the jungle that protects Brazil will now also generate clean energy with an investment of nearly 10 million reais.

Scientists have built a prototype of a quantum battery that actually works, charges faster as it gets larger, stores and releases energy using quantum physics instead of chemical reactions, and can be wirelessly charged by laser.
