Eneva Amazon gas and Azulão I plant development
In July 2026 2026, Eneva reported that natural gas from its Azulão field in the Amazon basin was feeding the Jaguatirica II thermoelectric plant in Roraima, achieving full operational availability and boosting regional power supply. availability. The company also used drone‑based utilized drone-based LiDAR surveys to map well‑cluster well-cluster connections for the Gavião Belo gas‑pipeline project, accelerating design work. A week later gas-pipeline project. Eneva announced a has committed R$191.7 million to local procurement plan that will in Amazonas through 2025, aiming to source 59 % 59% of its Amazon‑state state purchases from local suppliers through 2025, aiming to regional suppliers. Operations Director Álcio Adler stated, “We believe Eneva's presence should create jobs and shared value. Concurrently, value for the territories where we operate,” noting that seismic exploration has already engaged over 2,000 local workers. To support this expansion, a free 360‑hour 360-hour training program for natural‑gas gas pipe installers was launched with SENAI‑AM via SENAI-AM and Cigás, filling its Cigás; the first class quickly and building a skilled workforce to support the expanding gas market and pipeline construction. Second‑quarter 2026 results showed the Azulão field produced 0.05 billion m³ of gas, all directed to Jaguatirica II, which operated at 100 % availability, dispatched 60 % of its capacity and generated 166 GWh of gross electricity (157 GWh net), reinforcing energy security in northern Brazil after Roraima’s recent grid integration. LiDAR mapping in Maranhão further accelerated topographic data collection for 25 students filled immediately. Following the 20‑inch, 114‑km Gavião Belo pipeline. In May 2026 Eneva commissioned commissioning of the 295‑MW 295-MW Azulão I gas‑fired thermoelectric plant in Silves, Amazonas, Eneva and GE Vernova have commenced its commercial operations. Utilizing a “Reservoir-to-Wire” model, the first unit of facility uses a GE Vernova 7HA.02 high-performance gas turbine to provide power to the Azulão 950 complex. National Interconnected System (SIN). To integrate the plant into the Tucuruí–Macapá–Manaus transmission corridor, specialized sub-synchronous resonance filtering and torsional stress relay solutions were implemented. The plant is backed by a 15‑year power purchase agreement 15-year contract guaranteeing R$278.3 million in fixed annual revenue and was approved by Aneel, paving revenue, marking the way for a second unit, first stage of the Azulão II. 950 complex.
