Technical part of the project:
“On the technical aspect, we are developing the project, which is at a very advanced stage. We are receiving technical support from Mitsubishi Power, as we are talking about a large power plant. Our thermoelectric plant is modeled in three 600 MW modules, totaling 1,8 GW of power. To give you an idea, this represents all consumption in the state of Espírito Santo and there is still something left. The plant's energy will be negotiated in an auction and 100% sold to the National Integrated System (SIN). The expected gas consumption for this project is 7 million cubic meters per day. By way of comparison, the entire state of Espírito Santo consumes just over 2 million cubic meters per day.”
Licensing and start of works:
“We should have the Preliminary License at the beginning of the year. From then on, we intend to participate in the next auctions that will take place next year. And then, participating in this auction and being the winner, we will start the work a year later.”
Investment and economic development:
“It is an investment of BRL 6 billion. You can imagine the economic unfolding of the region. This thermal in the north of Espírito Santo will be imperative for the development of the region. The presence of the plant will bring energy security, along with transport modes, development and generate many jobs. Thermal is a development anchor for the entire region."
