Market forecasts 10% growth for the construction sector

The construction sector is expected to grow by 10% in 2018, according to CBIC. Secovi-SP forecasts a 5% to 10% increase in property sales, which reached 23,629 units in São Paulo in 2017 (a 46.1% increase). Growth is driven by lower interest rates and improved employment, directly impacting the demand for temporary power. Generator rental becomes essential for projects without utility supply, with specialized companies like Tecnogera offering comprehensive solutions for the sector.

Diesel Power Generator Rental: More Power, Less Fuel

Tecnogera’s diesel generators are up to 30% more fuel-efficient than competitors, offering an efficient solution for continuous power supply. With an average consumption of 40 liters/hour for models ranging from 157-170 kVA, these units are ideal for industries, events, and businesses that cannot afford power interruptions. The article explains how to calculate consumption, compares with gasoline generators, and highlights the unique features of Tecnogera’s domestic equipment, which undergoes rigorous quality control.

Power generation on Oil and Gas platforms

Oil platforms are true floating cities that require large amounts of energy to operate. This article explores how power generation is carried out on offshore platforms, the logistical challenges, the necessary safety measures, and the economic impact of the oil sector in Brazil.

Blackout underscores need for investment in energy security

The March 21, 2018 blackout affected 13 states in the North and Northeast, causing millions in losses for the industrial sector. The incident, resulting from a technical failure at the Xingu (PA) substation, highlighted the vulnerability of the national electrical system and the importance of energy security solutions. Generator rental emerges as a viable alternative for companies that cannot afford operational downtime, offering specialized maintenance and up-to-date technology without the need for significant equipment acquisition investments.

Iron ore extraction hits record highs again

The Brazilian mining sector has resumed growth after two years of stagnation, with Vale reporting an iron ore production of 366.5 million tons in 2017, a 5.1% increase over the previous year. The extractive industry accounts for 4.3% of the national GDP, driving the demand for temporary power in remote operations. Tecnogera offers tailored solutions for the sector, providing reliable power at every stage of mining projects.

Generator Rental: Top 6 Temporary Power Needs in the Market

Generator rental has become a competitive edge in Brazil due to failures in the electrical system. Key demands include: utility supply outages, consumption peaks with savings up to 30%, supply in remote areas especially mining and oil, construction sites without stable power, events with contingency plans, and scheduled industrial shutdowns. Generators operate in continuous or standby mode, activated as needed. Sectors like mining, oil and gas, construction, and events rely on this solution to maintain risk-free operations.

Tecnogera provided an energy security solution for Pacaembu Stadium

Tecnogera ensured energy security at Pacaembu Stadium during the Santos vs. Nacional match for the Copa Libertadores, serving over 20,000 fans. The solution was implemented following a power outage in a previous match that halted the competition for 49 minutes. The company supplied 2,300 kVA through three generators operating in permanent parallel, far exceeding the required 550 kVA. The project, developed in partnership with the Municipal Sports Department, ensured uninterrupted power supply throughout the entire match.

Favorable winds for wind energy

Brazil has reached the 8th position in the global ranking of installed wind energy capacity, with 12.76 GW, surpassing Canada. The sector grew by 26.5% in 2017, representing 8.3% of the national energy matrix and supplying 11% of the country, with a highlight on the Northeast region. Tecnogera has already commissioned over 2,000 turbines and provides complete solutions for the sector, including power generators for construction and load banks for testing.

Industry forecasts growth and increased energy consumption in the country

Brazilian industrial production grew by 2.5% in 2017 according to IBGE, marking the first positive result since 2013. CNI forecasts a 3% expansion in 2018, the first time since 2011 that industry growth will outpace GDP. Energy is the main industrial input, necessitating alternative sources for energy security. Power generators prevent unscheduled downtime that leads to losses and damages. Generator rental is the most viable option, transferring energy responsibility to the supplier. Tecnogera has been in the sector for 10 years, offering power generators from 10 to 1,500 kVA, chillers, load banks, and accessories.

Summer, rainy season, and temporary power solutions

The water crisis has significantly impacted power generation across Brazil. However, summer signals a period of heavy rains, which can greatly improve this scenario. While the season’s storms help raise reservoir levels, they also increase the chances of power supply interruptions. Accompanied by strong winds, the rains often topple trees onto power lines, causing damage to transmission lines and power supply failures.
