Brazil enters the Top 15 worldwide for solar energy generation

País alcançou 10GW de potência operacional da fonte solar fotovoltaica, o que equivale a mais de 70% da potência da usina hidrelétrica de Itaipu, e subiu duas posições no Ranking.

Brazil is the only Latin American country in the top positions of the countries with the greatest solar generation capacity in large plants and in small and medium systems.

Hydropower will maintain generation dominance until 2030

The projection is that in 2030 hydroelectric generation will represent 58.0% of the total share of annual generation, increasing from 374.1 TWh in 2020 to 414.1 TWh in 2030.

In 2020, the segment responded with a 63.4% market share. The country's energy planning foresees the construction of ten more hydroelectric plants in Brazil by 2029.

How does an Electrical System Operations Center work?

An Operation Center operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, remotely executing shutdown, isolation and normalization maneuvers when necessary.

Approved project that guarantees solar energy subsidy until 2045

There are 700 thousand solar energy consumer units, which accounts for almost 98% of the universe of distributed generation, with an estimated savings of R$ 13.8 billion for consumers.

Since 2012, distributed micro and mini-generation has been responsible for the creation of more than 140 thousand jobs, with tax collection equivalent to R$ 5.9 billion.

A importância da manutenção em ativos elétricos​

Carrying out maintenance work correctly avoids unnecessary costs such as machine replacement, operational downtime, asset losses and part replacements.

Maintenance activities, therefore, are based on three basic types: Corrective, Preventive and Predictive. Check out in the post the characteristics of each type of maintenance and its benefits.

Audit renews ISO management certificates

This is the 2nd time that the company obtains the result without non-conformities, that is, all the verified points were in the normative standards required by the norms and certifying body.

The revalidation corresponds to ISO 9001 (Quality), 14001 (Environment) and 45001 (Occupational Health and Safety), in an audit by the largest ISO certifier in the world.

General maintenance on Extra High Voltage equipment

65 pieces of equipment underwent preventive and predictive maintenance, such as autotransformers, reactors, circuit breakers and current transformers.

The activity consisted of planning interventions with the involvement of engineering and maintenance teams, where the activities to be performed were defined.

Brazil is the Top 10 of the most installed Solar Energy in 2020

Brazil entered the Ranking of the 10 countries that installed the most solar energy in 2020, registering 3.15 GW in new solar generation projects over the past year.

Cotesa Engenharia is responsible for the Operation & Maintenance of 1.1 GW of operational power from the Solar Generator source, around 20% of the national market.

Study projects a 68% increase in the photovoltaic market for 2021

According to an industry entity, the country should reach 12.56 gigawatts (GW) of installed capacity by December this year, compared to the current power of 7.46 GW.

The solar source is expected to generate more than 147,000 new jobs in the country this year, reaching a cumulative total of more than 377,000 jobs created since 2012.

Cotesa Engenharia seeks foreign partner for new market

In an interview with BNAmericas, João Junklaus reveals the expansion in the O&M business and the plans to find an international partner and start operating in the Brazilian wind turbine market.
