Eneva Is Negotiating Port in Macaé. City Has Strategic Positioning and Should Attract Large Investment

Eneva, one of the leaders and a reference in the national market for transforming oil and gas into energy, has purchased the Port Terminal of Macaé (TEPOR). The asset requires investments easily exceeding R$ 1 billion. This represents another significant leap for Eneva, allowing the company to finally develop a thermoelectric plant on the coast. The information was disclosed by Brazil Journal.

The project aligns with what the CEO, Pedro Zinner, stated, aiming to develop a gas hub with associated infrastructure, a terminal, and a liquefied natural gas regasification terminal, the LNG. The announcement of the investment comes at a time of water crisis in Brazil, where base-load thermoelectric plants are increasingly necessary, those that are available 24 hours a day.

Eneva Seeks to Facilitate Distribution Logistics

Currently, Eneva’s gas is what is called ‘gas to wire’, consisting of natural gas extracted in Amazonas and Maranhão to supply thermoelectric plants at the so-called ‘wellhead’ and then draining the generated electricity to the entire country. However, aiming to utilize imported gas or even pre-salt gas, Eneva developed the so-called ‘gas to power’, creating the logistics of receiving gas on the coast and the construction of thermoelectric plants.

The location of Macaé is strategic for Eneva. The site has the capability to access imported gas and even pre-salt gas, which is significantly more competitive compared to imported gas.

The Port Terminal of Macaé, TEPOR, already possesses environmental licenses. The site is set to have a liquid terminal and also offshore support, as well as another terminal for oil handling. The project also includes two berths, capable of handling up to 2 million barrels of oil daily.

Eneva was gas-deficient for many years, a situation that created difficulties in fulfilling contracts. However, the company fought and has now transitioned to a surplus position. The construction of thermoelectric plants on the coast, in the city of Macaé, is expected to facilitate the commercialization of the surplus.
