See some of the moments that marked the transport of the wind blade to Paul da Serra

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 23:32

Photographer Rui Silva, associated with ASPRESS, captured images at Prazeres showing the transport operation of the first of nine wind blades to Paul da Serra. The photographs reveal the scale and complexity involved in this task.

Paul da Serra is a location known for being one of the main wind energy production points in Madeira, which justifies the need to transport these large components to the region.

The transport operation of wind blades is traditionally complex due to the exceptional dimensions of these pieces, which can reach dozens of metres in length, requiring specially adapted routes and vehicles for their movement.

This is only the first of nine wind blades that will be transported to the site, indicating that the process will be repeated several times in the coming period to complete the intended installation.

Why this matters

Readers in the Madeira region are following the development of a wind energy project at Paul da Serra, with the arrival of the first of nine components that will be operational on the mountain. The transport operation of oversized loads affects traffic on the routes used, and represents a significant investment in renewable energy for the island.
