A Joint Venture Formed Between Shell, Pátria Investimentos and Mitsubishi Hitachi Was Closed at 700 Million for Operation and Acquisition of the Power Plant in Macaé, with 1500 Jobs at Peak of Project.
Royal Dutch Shell Plc, the private group Pátria Investimentos and Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems, stated on Monday that they will invest US$ 700 million to build and operate a gas plant in the state of Rio de Janeiro. The joint venture will build the Marlim Azul thermoelectric power plant, with a capacity of 565 megawatts (MW) in Macaé, on the coast of Rio, and will use natural gas supplied by Shell Brasil Petróleo Ltda.
“This is a fundamental strategic step for Shell in Brazil in diversifying its portfolio and in the energy transition in the country. We were looking for an efficient way to monetize the natural gas that will be produced in the pre-salt fields, where our presence has significantly increased.
