The Federal Government Aims to Reassess the Budget of ENBPar for the Angra 3 Works Project. The Goal Is to Advance the Development of the Nuclear Power Plant, Boosting the Brazilian Naval Sector.

The current budget of the state-owned Brazilian Company of Nuclear Energy and Bi-national Participation S.A. (ENBPar) for Angra 3 may be reassessed by the Federal Government, with a recomposition of R$ 1.3 billion. For this Tuesday (05/09), the Minister of Management and Innovation in Public Services, Esther Dweck, aims to reassess the amount allocated for the works of the nuclear project, aiming to accelerate the development of the asset. Discussions with Eletronuclear about what will be done this year are already underway, as highlighted by Esther.

The Federal Government is considering recomposing the ENBPar budget by around R$ 1.3 billion.

The measure aims to advance the works of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant, in Angra dos Reis (RJ), which will be the largest nuclear power plant in the country, with an installed capacity of 1,405 MW.

Ministry of Mines and Energy of the Federal Government Projects More R$ 20 Billion Needed for the Completion of Angra 3 Nuclear Power Plant Works

The future of energy in Brazil gained prominence this week with news about the need for more resources for the completion of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant.

According to Gentil Nogueira de Sá Junior, Secretary of Electric Energy at the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME), the completion of the plant will require an additional R$ 20 billion, in addition to the approximately R$ 7.8 billion already invested in the project.

During his participation in the Mines and Energy Commission (CME) of the Chamber of Deputies, Nogueira explained that the lack of additional resources is delaying the Acceleration Plan for the Critical Path of Angra 3.

The goal is to have the necessary funds to continue the project by September next year. However, the high construction costs of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant raise concerns about tariff affordability.

According to the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES), the average energy tariff of the plant would be R$ 726 per MWh in the first 16 years of operation, while the tariff for Angra 1 and 2 is approximately R$ 350 /MWh.

Thus, the future of the nuclear power plant project remains uncertain, but the Federal Government is discussing with Eletronuclear the resumption of Angra 3 as soon as possible, aiming to boost the Brazilian nuclear sector.
