Engie granted FRAM Capital the exclusive right to purchase the Jorge Lacerda Thermoelectric Plant. The contract is valid for 120 days and will be used for project review. The Thermoelectric Complex has an installed capacity of 857 MW and is located in Capivari de Baixo, in the state of Santa Catarina. The divestment is part of Engie’s decarbonization plan, which aims to focus its business on renewable energies and transition fuels for a low-carbon economy.

The company is looking for alternatives for coal-fired assets, and thermoelectric plants are one of them. Some suggestions were analyzed, but a balance in the negotiation between risk allocation and sales conditions was not reached.

From there, Engie decided to deepen discussions about the future of the terminal with various government sectors, class associations, and civil society. Currently, an alternative plan for the sale and decommissioning of assets in phases is described in detail.

The Thermoelectric Complex

Located in the municipality of Capivari de Baixo, SC, the Jorge Lacerda Thermoelectric Complex was conceived by the Federal Government in the 1960s to utilize the coal from the southern region of Santa Catarina and provide the electrical system with a strategic reserve, especially during periods of drought.

It consists of seven generating units, grouped into three plants: Jorge Lacerda A, with two generating units of 50 MW and two of 66 MW each; Jorge Lacerda B, with two units of 131 MW each; and Jorge Lacerda C, with one generating unit of 363 MW, totaling 857 MW. The physical guarantee for the commercialization of its energy is 649.9 MW average, and its operating authorization is valid until 2028.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

Saudi Arabia and Qatar signed the agreement to connect Riyadh to Doha with a high-speed train traveling at 300 kilometers per hour, covering 785 kilometers of desert in about two hours.

Can buying a small farm become a trap? When the dream of weekend relaxation turns into weeds, maintenance, bad roads, and endless expenses.
