Last Week, GNA I Thermoelectric Plant, Located at Porto do Açu, Began Operations After ANEEL’s Authorization
On 09/15, ANEEL – National Electric Energy Agency authorized the operation, starting 09/16, of the GNA I thermoelectric plant. The facilities are located at Porto do Açu, in São João da Barra, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The UTE will be powered by natural gas and will have the capacity to produce 1,338.30 megawatts (MW), enough to serve 4 million people.
The director-general of ANEEL, André Pepitone, states that the entry of this thermoelectric plant will be very beneficial for the sector, especially in the current situation. The energy generated by the UTE located at Porto do Açu will be injected into the system in the Southeast region, the most affected by the drought in the reservoirs, being sufficient to serve 4 million inhabitants, emphasizes the executive.
The water crisis caused by the lack of rain consequently leads to a drop in water storage in the reservoirs of hydroelectric plants, and the National Electric System Operator (ONS) had to activate thermoelectric plants to ensure the supply of energy to the country. However, the energy generated in thermoelectric plants is more expensive and causes an increase in electricity bills. At the end of August, the government and the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) announced a new level of tariff flags.
The GNA I Thermoelectric Plant, located at Porto do Açu, in the municipality of São João da Barra, in the state of Rio de Janeiro, consists of 3 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine that, together, will be responsible for generating 1.3 GW in combined cycle, contributing to increased efficiency in energy generation.
