Turbine And Other Equipment Are Part Of The Capacity Expansion Project Of The Parnaíba Thermoelectric Power Plant In Maranhão
The signing of a US$ 100 million contract with the Italian-Argentine Techint has just been announced by GE Power, GE’s subsidiary for power generation.
The contract is for the supply of a steam turbine, four heat recovery boilers, a condenser, and valves for the expansion of the Parnaíba thermoelectric power plant, owned by Eneva, in Maranhão, by 385 megawatts (MW), which will increase the plant’s installed capacity to 1.4 GW.
The Parnaíba thermoelectric complex, in Maranhão, is operated by Eneva, and its expansion was contracted in the A-6 auction held in August last year, with the start of operation scheduled for January 2024.
The new equipment to be supplied by GE will complete the “cycle” of the Parnaíba I power plant, which was inaugurated in 2013, and marks the beginning of Parnaíba V, that is, it will increase generation capacity without additional gas consumption.

Billions of barrels on the equatorial margin could lead Amapá to double its oil production in Brazil — the state aims to enter the route of companies in the Campos Basin, attract investments, and boost jobs and businesses in the oil and gas sector.

The capacity increase consists of the plant transitioning from a simple cycle plant (where energy is generated by burning fuel in boilers or simple turbines, with lower efficiency) to a combined cycle (in addition to burning fuel, the steam generated goes to another boiler that drives a new turbine, resulting in an actual efficiency increase.
The new equipment will be delivered in the first quarter of 2021, and installation will be completed in September 2022. The turbine will be manufactured in Europe, and the boilers will be made in Asia.
Eneva has a contract with Techint and GE, which, in addition to supplying the equipment, is responsible for maintaining the projects, with the exception of Parnaíba V, for which GE only supplied the equipment but wants to win the maintenance contract as well.
New Gas Market
GE is focusing on the expansion of the thermoelectric generation sector in Brazil, but it also has its focal point in Brazil in the gas market.
According to the company, the increase in gas supply is essential for economic growth and will involve high investments from major companies in the sector.
