Powering the Transformers of the Porto de Sergipe I Thermoelectric Plant Will Allow the Conclusion of Testing Activities for the Natural Gas-Fired Plant

The Porto de Sergipe I thermoelectric plant has achieved an important milestone in its schedule. GE Grid Solutions has energized the transformers of the gas turbines at the Celse Thermoelectric Plant in Barra dos Coqueiros.
The task performed is significant because it enables the plant to be connected to the national power grid through the 500kV transmission system.
Sergipe Basin Begins Production in November, Says Petrobras.

While the thermoelectric plant is not yet producing energy, the “backfeed,” as the procedure is called, will make it possible to begin the commissioning of the main equipment, which can only be performed with high power available on the electrical grid.

GE Grid Solutions project director, Sebastien Marlier, spoke about this last and important phase of the project. “This is the final stage of our supply for the Porto de Sergipe I plant. We completed the entire energization of the plant in April of this year and, now, with ONS’s authorization for the energization of the transformers, we were able to complete the most critical phase of the Grid Solutions supply”.

“This latest milestone perfectly concludes a series of successful actions, from the delivery of the executive projects, the assembly of the 34 km of transmission lines, civil construction, and the installation of the high-voltage substation equipment by our team,” he added.

Final Stage

With the plant powered, the GE team will be able to carry out the final commissioning stages of the heavier thermal equipment, and the GE executive explained that: “The success of this stage will be crucial for the completion of tests on the three natural gas turbines and the steam turbine, and the start of hot tests, involving gas combustion, known as first fire.”

The Porto Sergipe I thermoelectric plant, when it starts operation, will be one of the largest and most modern gas-fired thermal plants in Latin America.
The project belongs to Celse (Sergipe Electric Power Plants) and also has maritime facilities; the Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU), the anchoring system, and the gas pipeline responsible for transporting natural gas from the FSRU to the UTE.

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Gaddafi built the world’s largest artificial river under the Sahara — it’s 4,000 km of giant pipes that pump 40,000-year-old fossil water to entire cities in Libya.

Discovery in Africa scares even scientists: a study published on April 23 reveals that the crust in Turkana has become so thin that it could pave the way for the continent’s division and the emergence of an ocean in the future, in a gigantic geological transformation.

A German architect built a cylindrical house in 1994 that rotates to follow the sun throughout the day, generates 5 times more energy than it consumes, and was the world’s first energy-positive house.

A company that drilled for oil has drilled 4.8 kilometers of rock in Utah and found a never-ending heat of 290 degrees — now it is building the world’s first next-generation commercial geothermal power plant, with 100 MW connected to the grid in June 2026.

Brazil spent R$ 1.9 billion on a giant bridge to Paraguay, and it is already finished, but no one can use it properly because the access points are not ready, and traffic remains blocked months later.

A R$11.9 billion train that promises to revolutionize mobility in São Paulo and make trips of about 1 hour gains new progress with the inclusion of another city in the project.

The reactors of the aircraft carrier Gerald R. Ford produce 600 megawatts and could power an entire city.

As if a faucet had been opened in the ocean, warm water begins to reach Antarctica, breaks through the natural protection of the ice shelves, and intrigues scientists about the upcoming impacts on the global climate.

Brazil enters the era of engineered wood buildings alongside Canada, Sweden, Austria, and Norway, betting on a technology that promises faster construction, fewer emissions, and fire resistance that challenges concrete and steel.

War in Iran causes China to sell solar panels like never before, pushing 68 gigawatts to the world in just one month, while Middle Eastern oil becomes a global headache for suppliers desperate for alternatives.

Climate records from trees, corals, sediments, and caves show that the current warming is the only one in the last 2,000 years to affect the entire planet at the same time and advance faster than any natural change ever recorded, something that did not occur even during the Medieval Warm Period.

The planet registered 420 water conflicts in 2024, the highest number ever documented, and the dispute over rivers like the Nile, Colorado, Tigris, Euphrates, Indus, and Mekong exposes a race for dams that downstream countries already see as a threat of hydrological war.
