Activation of the Uruguaiana Thermoelectric Plant Acquired in September by the Argentine Company Saesa Energy Solution Will Ensure 250 MW for Brazil

The Uruguaiana Plant (formerly AES Uruguaiana) – the first thermoelectric plant to operate in Brazil and acquired in September by the Argentine company Saesa Energy Solution will be activated this week and will guarantee Brazil, starting December 1, 250 MW/month of energy.

The event will be attended by Governor Eduardo Leite and the Argentine Ambassador to Brazil, Daniel Scioli. The inauguration will take place at 10:30 AM on November 27, at the thermoelectric plant’s operation, located in the city of Uruguaiana, in Rio Grande do Sul.

The Uruguaiana Plant was the first thermoelectric plant to operate in Brazil, being built in the 1990s and inaugurated in 2000.

In 2009, the plant halted its activity due to the breach of contract by natural gas suppliers and reopened on an emergency basis in 2013, 2014, and 2015 for temporary periods. At the time, the thermoelectric plant was managed by AES.

In September of this year, the plant was acquired by the Argentine company Saesa Energy Solution, a natural gas mining company. The thermoelectric plant is expected to enter a new, more promising process, as it will no longer depend on external suppliers.

“The former owner of the power plant (AES) used to bring liquefied gas from ships from various regions around the world that docked in Buenos Aires and came to Uruguaiana via pipelines, but that was a very costly operation,” recalls Deputy Frederico Antunes. He celebrates the news, emphasizing that the reactivation of the plant is important for the entire country, as there are few structures with this capacity in Brazil. The line that goes from Uruguaiana to Garruchos relies mainly on natural gas from Argentina. With the possibility of sending energy to both countries, the structure should especially meet the Brazilian demand, particularly during drought periods, which harm the production of hydroelectric plants spread across the national territory.

The line leaves Uruguaiana and travels about 270 kilometers to Garruchos, where the plant’s converter station is located and relies primarily on natural gas from Argentina.

Founded in 2006, Saesa Energy Solution specializes in business involving gas and energy producers, especially renewable energy, and consumers.
