Intertechne has been involved in most of the main hydropower projects implemented in Brazil in the 21st century, including Belo Monte (11 000 MW), Santo Antonio (>3000 MW), Teles Pires (1800 MW) and many others and has also had a leading role in iconic projects abroad, including Laúca (2100 MW) in Angola and Chaglla (450 MW) in Peru. Today the company is involved in modernisation and refurbishment projects including Ilha Solteira, Jupiá and São Simão in Brazil and Cahora Bassa in Mozambique.
Intertechne’s team is also involved in new greenfield projects, including Aña Cuá in the border between Argentina and Paraguay, Baynes, in the border between Namibia and Angola, Las Placetas in the Dominican Republic and many small hydro schemes in Brazil.
“From now on, in all its new projects, and others to come, Intertechne wants to be recognised not only as a lead designer and provider of innovative engineering solutions, but also a company associated with sustainable projects and to play a key role in the transition to green energy,” commented José Franco Pinheiro Machado, Director of Water and Energy at Intertechne.
Eddie Rich, CEO of IHA, added: “Sustainable hydropower lies at the heart of what we do at IHA. It’s fantastic to see the interest in this area continue to grow and we are thrilled to be welcoming Intertechne to the IHA family.”
