Gas Turbine for Power Generation from Siemens Energy Delivered to the GNA II Thermoelectric Plant at the Port of Açu and Marks Construction at the Terminal

Siemens Energy has reached an important milestone in the construction of the GNA II thermoelectric plant, located at the Port of Açu in São João da Barra (RJ), by delivering the first of three gas turbines that will comprise the power island of the plant. This will have an installed capacity of 1.7 GW and is expected to start commercial operation in early 2025.

The turbine, which left Siemens Energy’s factory in Berlin, Germany, in February, arrived at the Port of Açu, at the Multicargo Terminal – T-MULT, about three miles from the plant’s construction site. The second unit is expected to arrive in May. Each turbine has a nominal capacity of over 350 MW, weighs around 310 tons, is 11.9 meters long, and 5.3 meters high, according to the Petronotícias website.

Importance of the First Siemens Turbine for the GNA II Project at the Port of Açu

The arrival of the first Siemens Energy turbine for the GNA II plant at the Port of Açu represents a milestone important for the project. With over 2,700 jobs created, the project promotes economic and social development for Northern Fluminense, the State of Rio de Janeiro, and Brazil. Furthermore, when the plant is operational, it will contribute to greater security and reliability to the National Electric System, as highlighted by Carlos Baldi, the Director of Operations and Implementation at Gás Natural Açu (GNA).

Details about the Power Island of the GNA II Plant at the Port of Açu

The power island of the GNA II plant at the Port of Açu will consist of three gas turbines from Siemens, one steam turbine, four generators, and three heat recovery steam boilers, among other systems, according to GNA information. The other equipment for Siemens’ power island is expected to arrive by June. Currently, construction of the GNA II plant is 65% complete, with work focused on the electromechanical assembly phase and preparation of the areas to receive the equipment. The commissioning period is expected to begin in early 2024.

Construction Going Full Steam Ahead at the Port of Açu!
