Reactivation of the William Arjona Thermoelectric Plant in Mato Grosso do Sul

Last Thursday, businesspeople and directors from the Delta Energia Group met with Agepen (State Agency for the Regulation of Public Services) to inform that they are in negotiations with Petrobras, TBG operators, and MSGás distributors to proceed with the resolution of all necessary operational procedures.

Negotiations are also underway with Energisa Mato Grosso do Sul and the National System Operator (ONS) regarding the electricity generated by the thermoelectric plant and how it will be made available. Agepan executives are seeking regulatory information, as they are clients of supplies and natural gas provided by MSGás, monitored by the State Agency for the Regulation of Public Services itself.

The UTE William Arjona

Delta Geração acquired the William Arjona thermoelectric plant from Engie, announcing the intention to resume the operation of the thermoelectric plant in the second half of 2020. At the end of 2017, Engie requested the revocation of the thermoelectric plant’s authorization, citing loss of economic viability.

The thermoelectric plant is located in Campo Grande, Mato Grosso do Sul, and can be operated by natural gas or diesel. The operational mode of the William Arjona thermoelectric plant requires it to be classified as an independent and non-mandatory consumer of natural gas, as the plant does not generate energy on a permanent basis. At that time, the equipment will be activated as needed according to the requirements of the electrical system and the feasibility of the cost of generating energy for the entire national system.

With a history of 19 years, the company began operating in the commercialization of electricity, engaging in the biofuel market and the structure of energy investment funds in Brazil.
