Thermoelectric Plant In Roraima Was One Of The Winners Of The Auction By Aneel

The integrated Azulão-Jaguatirica II project was one of the winners of the energy auction for supplying Boa Vista (RR) and connected localities, held in 2019 by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).

With an investment of R$ 1.9 billion, the expectation for the thermoelectric plant in Roraima is to reduce CO₂ emissions by 35% in the state, which represents 180,000 tons/year less CO₂ released into the atmosphere. A reduction in the cost of generation for Roraima’s Isolated System is also expected, the only state outside the country’s integrated electric system.
