The Thermal Power Plant Will Be Built in São Paulo by Zilor, with Business in Energy, Food, and Agricultural Property Management Areas
Zilor, a multinational in the sugar-energy sector, announced earlier this month that it will invest R$ 250.1 million in the installation of a thermal power plant at the Barra Grande Mill in Lençóis Paulista, in the interior of São Paulo state. The company, after winning a bidding for energy supply promoted by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) earlier this month, announced that the new unit, which will generate energy from sugarcane bagasse, is expected to start operations in April 2024.

The Details of the New Thermal Power Plant That Will Be Built in São Paulo State
The company that will build the new plant explains that, over 20 years, the grant period, it will supply 169,068 MWh/year at a price of R$ 188.00/MWh, with annual adjustments based on the IPCA. “The volume of energy sold in the auction represents a growth of approximately 30% in the Company’s energy cogeneration, contributing to the diversification of the Company’s businesses and greater predictability in cash generation,” it states.
The projected investment for the thermal power plant project, named Barra Grande 2, will total R$ 250.1 million, to be disbursed over the next three years. According to Zilor, the funds will be directed towards the acquisition of boilers, turbo generators, and other equipment, as well as the modernization of the industrial park, mills, and steam consumption for the operation of the thermal plant in Lençóis.

Creral, a company in the energy sector, has obtained the installation license to proceed with the project of the Litoral Norte thermal power plant, which will be installed in the municipality of Capivari do Sul, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul. Alderi do Prado, the company’s president, says they have been working on this thermal power plant project for two years and that, with the license, they will now work on the executive project and the hiring of generation and infrastructure equipment.
The thermal power plant to be built will use rice husk as fuel to generate energy, with an installed capacity of 5 MW, which will consume 40,000 tons of rice husk annually. The rice husk to be used at the thermal plant in Capivari do Sul will be supplied by rice companies from the municipalities of Capivari do Sul, Santo Antônio da Patrulha, and Palmares do Sul.
