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.

Chillers and Rooftops: When Renting is the Best Option

Summer is approaching, bringing high temperatures with it. For industries, shopping malls, hospitals, hypermarkets, and other commercial establishments, excessive heat can be a major issue. To keep production processes running smoothly and ensure customer comfort, these locations need powerful and efficient cooling systems.

Tecnogera and the Rio 2016 Olympics: A Success Story

The use of power generators by thermoelectric plants

The lack of rain and low water storage levels in reservoirs, especially in the Northeast region, continue to concern the productive sector and government agencies. Even though energy rationing is still being ruled out, some measures, such as adopting the level 2 red flag tariff charged on electricity bills, are already being implemented. The potential activation of thermal power plants, which are more costly to operate, aims to supplement the deficient energy matrix of hydroelectric plants, whose water reservoirs are at increasingly lower levels due to the water crisis.

Wind Power Growth Boosts Temporary Power Sector

The wind energy market remains highly promising with excellent prospects in Brazil and worldwide, strengthening the use of wind-generated power. According to data from the Generation Information Database – BIG, by Aneel, it is expected that by 2020, wind power will establish itself as the country’s second-largest energy source, with Brazil ranking fourth in investment, eighth in wind power generation, and tenth in installed capacity. Additionally, the Brazilian Wind Energy Association – ABEEólica, in its Annual Wind Power Generation Bulletin, reported that 2016 ended with $5.4 billion in investments in the wind sector. The Bulletin also noted that last year, over 2 GW of wind energy were added to the national power grid.

Major events require expertise and technical capability

When hiring temporary power solutions, one of the key criteria to evaluate is the rental company’s experience and capability. What types of events has the company serviced, and what generation capacity was provided are essential questions. Thus, companies that have supplied temporary power for complex events should be prioritized in the selection process.
