WIND: A LEADING SOURCE OF NEW ELECTRICITY GENERATION.

EOLIC POWER: “In Greek Mithology, Aeolus was the ruler or keeper of the winds”

Wind energy has been historically used directly to propel salling ships or converted into mechanical energy for pumping water or grinding grain, but the principal application of wind power today is the generation of electricity: Large scale wind farms are typically connected to the local electric power transmission network, with different sizes turbines being used to provide electricity to isolated locations and the major cities worldwide. Wind energy as a power source is favored by many environmentalists as an alternative to fossil fuels, as it is plentiful, renewable, widely distributed, clean, and produces lower greenhouse gas emissions.

Whether it is terrestrial or offshore wind farms requiring high-performance cables, CENTELSA offers a full array of cables needed for wind turbines to generate, distribute and transmit energy.

HARVESTING THE WIND A new approach to energy offers a clear path to a more secure and prosperous future and a more livable world. Increased use of wind, solar and other renewable energy sources will spur economic growth, protect consumers from price spikes or supply shortages associated with global fuel markets, and dramatically reduce the pollution and global warming which harms our planet.

CENTELSA is committed to improving environmental quality and ensuring compliance with all environmental requirements. We believe that a secure and reliable energy system is essential for economic development and protection of the environment.

CENTELSA collaborates with costumers to develop a flexible delivery schedule that best meets the client’s project and construction schedule. Additionally, CENTELSA provides engineering support to assist clients in aligning cable specifications with industry standards to ensure they are specifying the optimal products for specific application.

Some projects where CENTELSA´s cables were installed include Among other:
