Natural gas thermoelectric projects occupy the third position in the ranking of energy sources, but account for almost 30% of the generation capacity.
Just like the success of the ANP auction that took place yesterday, in Rio de Janeiro the Ministry of Mines and Energy expects the same thing from the A-6 energy auction, with a deadline for the start of generation in 2025, scheduled for Friday of next week (18/10). Petrobras and Equinor sign investments focused on natural gas thermoelectric generation projects.
The auction will take place next Friday (18/10) and will have 1.541 registered projects, see below the ranking by energy source and installed capacity.
The 1541 qualified projects add up to an installed capacity of 71.385 megawatts (MW), which is equivalent to 42,5% of the installed capacity of the entire current Brazilian generating complex.
The dispute for power generation has the leadership of the wind source followed by voltaic and natural gas thermoelectric plants, see the numbers:
- Toyota Hilux: new generation is already being developed with a 2.8 hybrid diesel engine
- MiG-25, known as the world's fastest fighter, has caused fear and respect among Western military forces
