Parnaíba I Complex, in Maranhão

Techint E&C will begin construction of a thermoelectric power plant in Brazil. The company will close the cycle in one of the largest natural gas thermal power generation complexes in the country.

In February 2019, Techint E&C was awarded the contract to build the Parnaíba V thermoelectric power plant, in the Parnaíba I complex, located in Santo Antônio dos Lopes, Maranhão. The start of works is scheduled for the second half of this year.

The contract is the result of Eneva's award in the energy auction promoted by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) in August 2018. In this context, Techint won the bidding process carried out by Eneva for an EPC Turn Key project for construction and assembly of the Parnaíba V plant, which consists of closing the cycle of the Parnaíba I plant, which today operates in an open cycle.

The only natural gas project contracted in the auction, UTE Parnaíba V, will have an installed capacity of 386 MW. The equipment will be provided by GE, which has extensive experience in turbogenerator technology and cycle closure.

It should be clarified that Eneva is an integrated energy company, with oil and gas and power generation assets. In addition, it is considered the largest private thermal generation company in Brazil.
