Words from the mayor of Macaé, Welberth Rezende

Promise is that operations at the Marlim Azul thermoelectric plant will start in 2023

The Marlin Azul thermoelectric plant, in Macaé, is expected to be ready at the end of 2022, and thus begin the production and supply of electricity using gas exclusively from the pre-salt, from January 2023, with new jobs.

The drop in numbers of cases of Covid-19 due to vaccinations was the impetus for the works at the plant to progress. A National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) has been following the stages of the works. Since September 2021, the generator that will compose the UTE's production system has been located on site. The 500-ton equipment is considered one of the most modern and efficient on the planet.
