Iberdrola, a través de su filial Neoenergia, se ha adjudicado 295 megavatios (MW) de potencia eólica en el concurso internacional organizado por la Agencia Nacional de Energía Eléctrica (Aneel) en Brasil. La inversión prevista rondará los 300 millones de euros. El contrato supone un primer gran paso en el sector de las renovables del Grupo Iberdrola en el país latinoamericano tras la creación este verano de la nueva Neoenergia y de acuerdo a los planes de crecimiento fijados en su estrategia.
En concreto, Neoenergia construirá nueve parques en el área de Santa Luzia, en el estado de Paraíba, que se pondrán en operación en enero de 2022. Con estas nuevas instalaciones, Neoenergía dispondrá de más de 800 MW entre parques en operación y en construcción en Brasil, siendo el país en Latinoamérica con más potencia eólica para el Grupo Iberdrola.
Estos nuevos proyectos convierten al Estado de Paraíba en una de las áreas con más potencia eólica de Latinoamérica, donde Iberdrola ya tiene en operación 90 MW de capacidad instalada (complejo eólico de Paraíba) entre los parques de Canoas, Lagoa I y Lagoa II, con 30 MW de potencia cada uno.
Con la integración de Elektro el pasado julio en Neoenergia, Iberdrola impulsó la creación de la mayor compañía eléctrica brasileña y el nacimiento de un líder energético en Latinoamérica. Se trata de una compañía comprometida con el desarrollo energético, económico y social de Brasil y de los brasileños, que está presente en 13 Estados del país a través de la generación, transporte, distribución y comercialización de energía eléctrica. Neoenergia cuenta con cerca de 13,5 millones de puntos de suministro, atendidos por sus cuatro compañías: Coelba, Celpe, Cosern y Elektro. Su área de concesión comprende cerca de 840.000 km2 y atiende a una población de más de 34 millones de personas.
También intentó la colocación en Bolsa de Neoenergia, pero el proyecto quedó abortado la semana pasada por la oposición del Banco de Brasil y el fondo de ´pensiones de sus empeados Previ, que no aceptaron el rango de precios de las acciones solicitado por los inversores.

Renewable energy can meet global electricity demand by 2050 while reducing total cost

Transitioning the world to 100 percent renewable electricity isn't just some environmentalist pipe dream—it's "feasible at every hour throughout the year" and is more cost-effective than the current system, which largely relies on fossil fuels and nuclear energy, a new study claims.

The research, compiled by Finland's Lappeenranta University of Technology (LUT) and the Berlin-based nonprofit Energy Watch Group (EWG), was presented Wednesday at the Global Renewable Energy Solutions Showcase, a stand-alone event coinciding with the COP 23 climate talks in Bonn, Germany.
The authors say that the existing renewable energy potential and technologies coupled with storage can generate enough energy to meet the global electricity demand by 2050.
The researchers estimate that the switch will bring the total levelized cost of electricity on a global average down to €52 ($61) per megawatt-hour (including curtailment, storage and some grid costs) compared to €70 (82) megawatt-hour in 2015.
“A full decarbonization of the electricity system by 2050 is possible for lower system cost than today based on available technology," said Christian Breyer, the lead author of the study.
"Energy transition is no longer a question of technical feasibility or economic viability, but of political will," added Breyer, who is also a professor of Solar Economy at LUT and serves as chairman of EWG's Scientific Board.
According to the study, solar power and battery storage are critical parts of the transition. Falling prices will also lead to widespread adoption of the technologies. The researchers predict that the globe's electricity mix by 2050 will consist of solar photovoltaics (69 percent), wind energy (18 percent), hydropower (8 percent) and bioenergy (2 percent).
By following this path, greenhouse gas emissions in the electricity sector will come down to zero and drastically reduce total losses in power generation, the study found. Not only that, the renewable energy transition would create 36 million jobs by 2050, 17 million more than today.
"There is no reason to invest one more dollar in fossil or nuclear power production," EWG President Hans-Josef Fell said. "Renewable energy provides cost-effective power supply. All plans for a further expansion of coal, nuclear, gas and oil have to be ceased. More investments need to be channeled in renewable energies and the necessary infrastructure for storage and grids. Everything else will lead to unnecessary costs and increasing global warming."
This is the not the first time researchers have suggested that planet's road to 100 percent renewables is possible. Earlier this year, Stanford University professor Mark Jacobson and 26 co-authors published a study and created clean energy roadmaps for 139 individual countries. The chosen countries emit more than 99 percent of all carbon dioxide worldwide,  
Here are the key findings of the current study:
  • Existing renewable energy potential and technologies, including storage can generate sufficient and secure power to cover the entire global electricity demand by 2050. The world population is expected to grow from 7.3 to 9.7 billion. The global electricity demand for the power sector is set to increase from 24,310 TWh in 2015 to around 48,800 TWh by 2050.
  • Total levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) on a global average for 100% renewable electricity in 2050 is €52/MWh (including curtailment, storage and some grid costs), compared to €70/MWh in 2015.
  • Due to rapidly falling costs, solar PV and battery storage increasingly drive most of the electricity system, with solar PV reaching some 69%, wind energy 18%, hydropower 8% and bioenergy 2% of the total electricity mix in 2050 globally.
  • Wind energy increases to 32% by 2030. Beyond 2030 solar PV becomes more competitive. The solar PV supply share increases from 37% in 2030 to about 69% in 2050.
  • Batteries are the key supporting technology for solar PV. The storage output covers 31% of the total demand in 2050, 95% of which is covered by batteries alone. Battery storage provides mainly diurnal storage, and renewable energy based gas provides seasonal storage.
  • Global greenhouse gas emissions significantly reduce from about 11 GtCO2eq in 2015 to zero emissions by 2050 or earlier, as the total LCOE of the power system
  • The global energy transition to a 100% renewable electricity system creates 36 million jobs by 2050 in comparison to 19 million jobs in the 2015 electricity system.
  • The total losses in a 100% renewable electricity system are around 26% of the total electricity demand, compared to the current system in which about 58% of the primary energy input is lost.
The research was co-funded by the German Federal Environmental Foundation and the Stiftung Mercator.

Enel’s subsidiary Enel Green Power Brasil Participações (EGPB) has won a tender to construct three wind energy projects in Brazil totalling 618 MW.
This is the second tender that was secured by Enel in the recently held renewable energy auction in Brazil. The first tender was won earlier this week for the construction of a 388MW solar plant in the country.
The present tender consists of three wind projects including the 510MW Lagoa do Barro wind farm, the 78MW Morro do Chapéu II wind farm and the 30MW extension of Enel’s already operational 180MW Delfina wind farm.
The 510MW wind farm will be located in the Lagoa do Barro do Piauí, Queimada Nova and Dom Inocêncio municipalities, in the State of Piauí. When fully operational, the wind project could generate nearly 2,400GWh of clean electricity each year.
The 78MW wind farm will be built in the Morro do Chapéu municipality, in the State of Bahia. This project could generate nearly 380GWh of clean electricity annually. It is an extension of the company’s 172MW Morro do Chapéu Sul wind farm. The extension will share the same connection infrastructure.
The third wind farm will be located in the Campo Formoso municipality, in the State of Bahia and is expected to generate more than 160GWh of renewable energy every year.
These three wind farms are expected to be operational by 2023 and could cumulatively generate about 3TWh of renewable electricity. They are being supported by 20 year power supply contracts, which help in the sale of specified volumes of energy to a pool of distributed companies in Brazil.
Enel is expected to invest of about $750m for the construction of the three plants and this investment.
Enel Green Power head Antonio Cammisecra said: “Enel Green Power has had another record year and these two wins this week in Brazil provide us with good momentum going into 2018. In Brazil specifically, in 2017 we have completed the construction of almost 1GW of wind and solar plants.
“The new renewable capacity assigned this week will allow us to further increase our current renewables footprint in the country, thus reinforcing our leadership in this field.”

Alliant Energy recently announced Tuesday that it has finalized an agreement with developer Tradewind Energy under which it will build and own the 170-megawatt (MW) English Farms Wind Farm project located in Poweshiek County in central Iowa.
“Wind energy is a win for Iowans,” Doug Kopp, president of Alliant Energy’s Iowa energy company, said. “The benefits of this project help customers through reductions in emissions and fuel cost. It gives landowners lease payments to help on the farm and it helps communities through increased local tax revenue for schools and community services.”
Alliant plans to begin major construction in 2018. The project includes 69 turbines and is expected to result in approximately $47 million in local tax benefits over the next 30 years and approximately $12 million in landowner payments over the next 30 years.
In 2016, the Iowa Utilities Board granted Alliant Energy approval to add up to 500 megawatts of wind energy in Iowa. The company requested a similar wind expansion in 2017.
With these combined projects, the overall wind expansion is a roughly $1.8 billion investment and includes up to 1,000 megawatts of new wind generation in the state. Alliant expects that customers will receive more than one-third of their energy from wind by the end of 2020.
“It has been extremely rewarding to work with Poweshiek County officials, landowners, and community members,” Jeff Hammond, senior development manager for Tradewind Energy, said. “We are very proud to partner with Alliant Energy, which is contributing to the transformation of Iowa’s electric power supply.”

Ebert Erneuerbare Energien Projekt GmbH & Co. KG, a family-owned enterprise, has placed a 28 MW order for eight V136-3.45 MW turbines for the Grohnde-Kirchohsen wind park in Lower Saxony in Northern Germany.
 
Leveraging more than 30 years of experience in the German market, Vestas’ extensive expertise in project management helped the customer through a challenging process where the project faced multiple legal and administrative obstacles.
“Our project faced administrative challenges like project delays and a changing legal framework and Vestas proved to be a reliable partner in solving these. Leveraging their extensive product knowledge as well as siting expertise, Vestas optimised our low wind site. Consequently, Vestas offered a cost-effective project while at the same time ensuring a long-term profitable operation of our wind project in Grohnde-Kirchohsen despite a reduced tariff according to EEG 2017,” states Dr. Tim Ebert, Owner, Ebert Erneuerbare Energien Projekt GmbH & Co. KG.
The wind park is an example of the German energy market’s rapid transformation from nuclear and fossils to renewables, as the eight turbines will be installed next to the Grohnde nuclear power plant that is set to be closed in 2021.
“With the site’s proximity to a closing nuclear power plant, it is a great visual symbol of wind energy’s increasingly strong position. We will continue to support our new customer with our efficient service and broad project management expertise utilising our profound experience in the German market,” says Nils de Baar, President Vestas Central Europe.
The order includes supply and commissioning of the wind turbines and a full-scope service agreement (AOM 5000) for 20 years. The service agreement also includes the VestasOnline® Compact SCADA solution. Wind turbine delivery and commissioning are planned for the second half of 2018.

China General Nuclear Power Corporation (CGN) said Friday it would build a 3 gigawatt deepwater wind power project off the coast of Guangdong Province.
 
The country's largest nuclear power operator said it would install wind turbines at two deepwater sea areas near the city of Jieyang.
The company plans to invest 5 billion yuan (760 million U.S. dollars) in the initial period, with the total investment estimated at over 100 billion yuan.
CGN Chairman He Yu said the offshore wind power project was in line with the country's efforts to improve the energy mix for greener economic growth.
Chen Sui, chairman of CGN New Energy Holdings, said the company would build the wind farm into a demonstration project across the country.
CGN New Energy's 150 megawatt wind farm off the coast of Rudong County, east China's Jiangsu Province, went into full operation in September 2016. The farm, 25 kilometers from the coast, was a major breakthrough for China's wind power development.
