The Porto de Sergipe I power plant is a 1.5GW natural gas-fired power plant being developed in Barra dos Coqueiros, Brazil. Upon completion in January 2020, it will be the biggest gas-fired power plant in the region. Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe (CELSE) is developing the project with an estimated investment of $1.74bn.
GE was awarded the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract for the power plant. The contractual scope also includes the 33km transmission line, substation expansion, and seawater intake / discharge infrastructure for the power plant’s cooling requirements.
GE was also awarded an operations and maintenance (O&M) contract for the power plant along with a Contractual Service Agreement (CSA) for providing long-term maintenance services and parts for the gas and steam turbine generators.
