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.
