Neoenergia has just started the commercial operation of the Jalapão Transmission Line LT 500 kV Miracema – Gilbués II – Barreiras II A LT 500 kV Miracema – Gilbués II – Barreiras II is now the largest extension of the company in operation in the segment with 728 kilometers passing through the states of Tocantins The project was acquired in Lot 4 of Auction 02/2017 carried out by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) in December 2017 and was energized 15 months in advance of the regulatory body's contractual forecast The function of this Line is to expand the transmission network to expand the energy exchange between the North and Northeast regions facilitating the flow of energy generated by the Belo Monte Hydroelectric Power Plant (PA) – an asset that has the participation of Neoenergia and The energization of the Jalapão Line marks the delivery of all projects acquired by the company in auctions held in 2017 adding RAP (Allowed Annual Revenue) of R$ 217 million " We deliver all projects with anticipation of deadlines and strategic and efficient use of resources we contribute to the development of the Brazilian electricity sector assisting in the safety and reliability of the system for the expansion of renewable energies we generate jobs and income in the areas where weoperate," says Fabiano Uchoas capacitor benches were installed in series with the LT 500kV Gilbués II – Barreiras II equipment that serves to - increase the transmission capacity and the flow of energy especially in long Transmission Lines such as jalapão - are 416 kilometers in the first stretch and 312 kilometers in the second The project also included the expansions of the Miracema (TO) Gilbués II (PI) and Barreiras II (BA) substations three times the distance from Oiapoque (AP) to Chuí (RS) or an extension greater than the distance between São Paulo and Moscow The steel used totals more than 15,000 tons The project also resulted in economic and socio-environmental benefits for the local population Neoenergia promoted the solution of an environmental liability from works paralyzed around the Transmission Line of structures abandoned on site for more than five years The initiative allowed the environmental recovery of the stretch allowing the area to resume its previous natural conditions and was authorized and accompanied by Ibama (Brazilian Institute of the Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) "All actions are aligned with Neoenergia's corporate purpose of stimulating sustainable development in our areas of operation We generate more than 2,000 jobs at the peak of the works solve the environmental liability and create a strategy for the reuse of structures andmaterials" implementation manager of neoenergia's Jalapão project Approximately 4,000 foundations were removed from an uncompleted Transmission Line enough to castarate approximately 24,000 square meters of streets or roads The inert material was applied in the accesses to the towers in the municipalities crossed by the Transmission Line enabling improvements in the roads throughout the municipalities affected by the project was converted into the purchase of more than 900 basic baskets for donation to people in vulnerable situations Lot 2 of Auction 01/2020, called Morro do Chapéu (BA, MG and ES), held by ANEEL in December 2020 – which provides for the construction of 1,091 km of Transmission Line, substation expansions, in addition to a new substation.   Lot 04 of Auction 02/2021 held by ANEEL in December 2021 – which is composed of a 500 kV Estreito substation, located in the municipality of Ibiraci, in the state of Minas Gerais, and has three synchronous compensators -300/+300 Mvar.   Among the hardest hit areas is the municipality of Miracema in northwestern Rio de Janeiro Heavy rain fell on 08 February triggering floods and landslides As of 11 February 15,000 people were affected and 1,400 displaced The municipal government declared a state of emergency and said authorities will continue to monitor affected areas and provide aid and relief supplies to victims the Muriaé River broke its banks on 10 February causing widespread flooding well above major flood stage of 5.6 metres The government of Laje do Muriaé reported that 900 people were affected and around 500 displaced The municipalities of Santo Antônio de Pádua Italva and Itaocara also declared a state of emergency due to heavy rain Santo Antônio de Pádua recorded 145.7 mm of rain in 24 hours to 09 February 2022 Aperibé and Itaperuna have also been affected by heavy rain over the last few days One family was rescued from a home after they became trapped by flood water and debris after flash flooding in Volta Redonda on 07 February Four houses (9 residents) were evacuated due to landslide risk The local municipality said 44.5 mm of rain fell in a short period causing the levels of the Paraíba do Sul River to jump to 2.15 metres above normal Heavy rains caused flooding and landslides in the Ribeiro Junqueira District of Leopoldina municipality in southern Minas Gerais from late 12 February 2022 Local government said “the force of the waters left dozens of people homeless and wreaked havoc on homes and roads.” Preliminary data said 30 families were displaced Richard Davies is the founder of floodlist.com and reports on flooding news Cookies | Privacy | Contacts © Copyright 2025 FloodList
