thermoelectric projects

These plants can be developed by importing liquefied natural gas (LNG) or even building national natural gas infrastructure. One of these projects is the Nossa Senhora de Fátima thermoelectric plant (1.355 MW), located in the city of Macaé, in Rio de Janeiro, developed by Natural Energia.

Eneva was authorized by CADE – Administrative Council for Economic Defense to acquire 75% of the shares of Nossa Senhora de Fátima and closed an agreement with the multinational BP that operates in the oil and gas sector, for the supply of imported liquefied natural gas.

The company's first target is the North and Northeast markets, where Eneva is looking for industrial customers interested in replacing diesel with natural gas. The idea is to take advantage of the natural gas reserve of the Azulão project and take advantage of the LNG distributed by trucks to serve new customers.

Camila Schoti, General Manager of Trading and Commercialization at Eneva, says that “We can provide continuous supply to many customers in this region and also contribute to decarbonization”.
