UEGA, the subject of this sale, is a natural gas thermal power plant located in Araucária, Paraná, near the Bolivia-Brazil Gas Pipeline (GASBOL). This plant began operations in 2002 and has a total installed capacity of 484 MW.
The sale of this stake is an opportunity for Petrobras to reduce its portfolio and direct its resources to strategic areas, such as the exploration and production of oil. Additionally, this measure is also part of a divestment movement by the company, which seeks to focus on its core activities and reduce its debt.
Copel and Its Strategy for the Coming Years
Copel, in turn, sees this opportunity as a way to strengthen its decarbonization process of the generation matrix, aligning with its Corporate Strategic Planning for the coming years. This measure contributes to the sustainability and sustainable growth of the company’s business, which is increasingly seeking clean and renewable energy sources.
This sale can also bring benefits to the electric sector as a whole, as the entry of new investors into UEGA may bring innovation and improvements to the plant, as well as strengthen the country’s energy security. Diversification in the electric sector is essential to ensure a sustainable and efficient energy supply.
In summary, Petrobras continues the divestment process of its stake in UEGA, a company it maintains with Copel. This sale is aligned with the decarbonization process of Copel’s generation matrix and is part of the company’s Corporate Strategic Planning. Potential buyers will receive an invitation letter with instructions on the divestment process, including guidance for conducting due diligence and submitting binding proposals. UEGA is a natural gas thermal power plant located in Araucária, Paraná, and this sale can bring benefits to both Petrobras and the electric sector as a whole.
