THE PRIVATIZATION OF COPEL
News given in November
The forecast for the privatization of the Araucária Gas Electric Power Plant had already been announced in November by the Government of Paraná, which is Copel's majority shareholder. The announcement said that it intended to transform Copel into a company without a controlling shareholder., and the State has already approved such a decision, waiving most of the shares. The approved law also authorizes the State to privatize Copel's subsidiaries.
The plant that will be sold is a partnership between Petrobras and Copel, where natural gas is generated through the combined cycle, with two gas turbines and one steam turbine, and is located close to the GASBOL plant, a gas pipeline in Bolivia. The plant started operating in 2002, with a total capacity of 484 MW.
