Infrastructure development in Rio Grande do Sul

Overview

Infrastructure development projects are advancing in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil, focusing on energy and maritime logistics.

In late September 2026, the government of Rio Grande do Sul and Edge signed a memorandum of understanding to study a liquefied natural gas (LNG) terminal at the Port of Rio Grande. The project, estimated to reach R$ 1 billion in investment, aims to increase the state’s natural gas supply by at least 30% once operational in 2028.

By mid-October 2026, the Consórcio Portos do Sul, which won a recent auction, began discussions with the Mayor of Porto Alegre regarding the operation of the Cais Navegantes port terminal. This project involves a R$ 100 million investment to revitalize an abandoned area and is expected to create between 300 and 450 direct jobs over a ten-year operating period.
