With the Accelerated Schedule for the Definitive Construction of the Macaé Thermal Power Plant, the Enterprise Is Already in the Home Stretch for the Start of Activities

The Nossa Senhora de Fátima Thermal Power Plant is one of the most anticipated projects in the city of Macaé. When we say “most anticipated,” it is because in this vitamin of expectation, the construction of the TEMPOR (Macaé Port Terminal) is also scheduled in the municipal development project. Back to the thermal power plant, the date for the Public Hearing was scheduled for June 11 (Monday) at 6 PM at the Gran Nobile Macaé Hotel in the Glória neighborhood. Surprisingly, we did not learn about this event through the media, Facebook announcements, or any other communication vehicle; I simply opened my front gate and there was the event banner hanging almost in front of my house. Are you doubting it? See the photo I took right after:

We were naturally surprised by the coincidence, right at the moment we were looking for information about it. To seal the deal, we contacted to verify if the announcement was accurate, and the good news was that it was. Below, we are leaving some specifications of the Plant; on the day of the event, we will be there to obtain more detailed information, especially regarding employability.

Enterprise

The enterprise presented in this Environmental Impact Study – EIA includes the planning, implementation, and operation of the Nossa Senhora de Fátima Thermal Power Plant, including a Transmission Line and a dedicated Gas Pipeline, for the generation of electric energy with a capacity, in full operation, of 1,355.4 MW (gross energy). The Plant will be located in Macaé, in the Northern Region of the State of Rio de Janeiro

Technologies Adopted

The generation process foresees the use of three (03) completely independent generation modules, each consisting of 1 gas turbine with a bypass stack, 1 heat recovery boiler, and 1 steam turbine, allowing for both open cycle operation (operating only the gas turbine and releasing the exhaust gases through the bypass stack) or combined cycle operation (operating the entire set, gas turbine, heat recovery boiler, and steam turbine). The modules will feature state-of-the-art technology from Siemens with SGT6-8000H gas turbines that have efficiency exceeding 60% with low levels of atmospheric emissions.

Natural Resources

Natural Gas – Both natural gas from the Campos Basin treated at the Cabiúnas UTGN station and gas from the Pre-Salt fields arriving at Cabiúnas via the Rota 2 gas pipeline may be used. The reception of gas at the UTE will be done through the construction of a dedicated gas pipeline, with an approximate length of 17 km and a diameter of 12”, capable of transporting the expected consumption of 4,770,000 m³/day.

Water – The water supply for the plant will be sourced from the Macaé River, which is about 2 km from the UTE site. To this end, a water pipeline approximately 2.5 km in length will be constructed, connecting the intake from the Macaé River to a raw water receiving structure located on the plant’s site. The volume of water required for the operations of the plant is about 300 l/s, with around 100 l/s being returned to the river after treatment.
