The first phase of installation of the thermoelectric plant had already been authorized by the state government in September 2020. The second phase will consist of the construction of the plant modules and turbines, so that natural gas can arrive through the pier, which was already built in the previous phase of the thermoelectric plant.
Novo Tempo thermoelectric plant will be the first in Pará
The Novo Tempo Thermoelectric Power Plant will be the first natural gas thermoelectric plant in the state of Pará, and will contribute to the demand for electricity generation in the country through the National Energy System of Brazil.
The plant will have a power of 600 megawatts and will generate around 800 direct jobs and 2 indirect jobs. The works should also consume around 30% of the products and services from suppliers in Pará, boosting the regional economy.
Economic and environmental benefits
In addition to the economic benefits, the State of Pará will also benefit in environmental terms, since the energy from the fuel produced, natural gas, is much less polluting than other fossil fuels, such as oil and coal, because it is transformed into heat. through its combustion, which occurs inside gas-powered turbines; Gases are generated at high temperatures and speeds, which move the turbines, which in turn drive the generators where electricity is obtained.
The supply of this type of fuel is essential for energy generation and can be applied for domestic consumption and for the promotion of industries throughout the region.
