The state of Roraima, the only one in the country outside the integrated electrical system, already has reason to believe that 2021 will be an enlightened year. Eneva, a company associated with CEBDS, will inaugurate the Jaguatirica II plant, built in the city of Boa Vista, to meet approximately 70% of the consumption of the entire state, including all residences and commercial establishments. Approximately 117 MWh (megawatt hours) will be generated from the natural gas that arrives from the Azulão field, in Amazonas.
The Azulão-Jaguatirica project was one of the winners of the energy auction to supply Boa Vista and other locations, held in 2019 by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel). The idea is that with the new plant, diesel generation will be switched off, thereby reducing generation and emissions costs. The goal is to reduce CO2 emissions in the state by 35%: approximately 180 thousand tons per year less CO2 released into the atmosphere.
Eneva believes that with this initiative it will be even closer to reaching 4.7 GW of energy generation capacity by 2023. Always defending its main values: resilience, collaboration, courage and the ability to take risks responsibly.
