The Angra 3 Plant That Eletronuclear Will Complete Is 65% Finished and Will Require an Additional R$ 17 Billion to Be Fully Ready

After the Board of Directors of Eletrobras granted approval for the completion of the Angra 3 nuclear plant, the subsidiary Eletronuclear signed the contract with the consortium led by the contractor Ferreira Guedes, which also includes Matricial and ADtranz, to advance the project.

The consortium that will carry out the works at Angra 3 was awarded the contract for the critical path acceleration plan, which will require approximately R$ 300 million, involving the construction of the reactor building and other safety buildings.

Eletronuclear announced the signing of the contract for the work in Angra on the evening of Wednesday, February 3rd.

Eletrobras Statement on Angra 3

Eletrobras publicly released a statement regarding what Eletronuclear will undertake during the construction at Angra 3. Among these tasks are the assembly of electromechanical systems, including the closure of the steel containment sphere, as well as the installation of the spent fuel pool, the polar crane, and the semi-port crane. Additionally, the company stated that “Among the main measures included in the Critical Path Acceleration Plan is the completion of the concrete superstructure of the Angra 3 reactor building.”

Eletrobras also stated in another announcement that it will conduct another bidding process to hire the company or consortium responsible for completing the civil works and for assembling the electromechanical systems of the plant.

According to Bento Albuquerque, Minister of Mines and Energy, the expected completion date for the construction work that Eletronuclear will resume is 2026. The construction of the Angra 3 plant began in 1984 and had been halted for six years.

According to data presented by CNN earlier this month, Eletronuclear anticipates that completing the works of the plant will require R$ 17 billion – an amount that may be updated by the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), responsible for drafting the new bidding notice.

Eletrobras also informed that the works at Angra 3 are 65% finished and, to date, R$ 7.8 billion have already been invested. The dates for when the works will be resumed by Eletronuclear have not yet been announced.

Currently, Brazil has two operational nuclear plants, both located in Angra dos Reis, on the Costa Verde in Rio de Janeiro. The Angra 1 and Angra 2 plants are responsible for generating 1.1% of the energy of the Brazilian Interconnected System (SIN).
