The Construction of the Power Plant at Porto do Açu May Generate About Five Thousand Jobs in the Region of São João da Barra and Campos dos Goytacazes

More than 5,000 new jobs will be generated with the construction of the largest thermoelectric plant in the country, UTE GNA II, located at Porto do Açu, in São João da Barra, in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The construction of the plant will open job positions aimed at hiring local labor in the region of São João da Barra and Campos dos Goytacazes, in Northern Fluminense.

Hiring for Positions at UTE GNA II, at Porto do Açu

So far, according to the website O Dia, there is no forecast for the start of construction of the largest thermoelectric plant in the country. For now, Gás Natural Açu (GNA) is still analyzing the scenario of the coronavirus pandemic. The areas of operation, requirements, and other details about job positions in the construction of the new UTE GNA II have not been disclosed.

Through the Automated Employment Management System (SAGE), a tool from the Municipality of São João da Barra, residents can register their resumes and personal information. However, it is important to note that the system functions as a resume bank. In this way, companies in the region search the platform for candidates compatible with the available job openings.

More Details About the GNA II Thermoelectric Plant: Like UTE GNA I, the GNA II thermoelectric plant will also consist of 3 gas turbines and 1 steam turbine, all supplied by Siemens. With an installed capacity of 1.6 GW, UTE GNA II will also operate in a combined cycle. The substation of UTE GNA II will connect with the SIN through a 500 kV transmission line.

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.
