Wind power is currently considered one of the most promising natural energy sources. In Latin America, Brazil accounts for 90% of all investments in renewable energy, according to a report issued by the Programa das Nações Unidas para o Meio Ambiente- Punuma. Roughly 46% of Brazil's energy comes from renewable sources and 85% of the country's power generating capacity comes from hydro plants.
Renewable energy, also known as clean energy, has been advancing at a rate of about 27% per year worldwide.
Brazil is already the country with the highest proportion of clean energy in its total energy production within the electrical sector, with 80% of production originating from renewable sources, basically through hydroelectric plants.
The Alubar Group has been present for 10 years in the energy setor, and in 2005 it created a new business facility: Alubar Energia, whose target is to offer solutions for electricity transmission, distribution and generation systems.
Through professionals and consultants with proven technical, commercial and financial expertise, Alubar Energia aims to participate in the energy concession and generation markets in order to develop:
Partnerships and technical solutions, to participate in bids and consortia for the construction of transmission lines, substations, small hydroelectric plants (PCH) and wind farms.
Technical solutions in projects and applications using metal structures, electrical cables and other materials, aiming to reduce pass ranges and retrofitting, and increase the ampacity and capacity of electrical transmission and distribution lines.
Economic-financial and technical structuring to supply SPE or EPC turn-key projects for transmission lines, substations and power distribution lines.
Economic-financial and technical feasibility studies on power generation, transmission and distribution enterprises.
Environmental permits pertaining to electricity generation and transmission.
Surveys of hydro generation inventory and output, as well as their environmental impacts.
In this manner, the Alubar Group through Alubar Energia will add greater value to the power sector by studying important projects to Brazil's infrastructure and making them economically, financially and technically feasible.
