POWER GENERATION PARK
A COMPLEX COMPOSED OF FLEXIBLE THERMAL GAS-FIRED POWER PLANTS TO SUPPORT THE EXPANSION OF RENEWABLES AND ENERGY MATRIX SECURITY.
To support Brazil’s energy security and transition, Origem Energia is building a thermoelectric park with a 330 MW power generation capacity in the Alagoas Hub. The complex consists of seven flexible thermal gas-fired power plants (gas to wire).
The project is highly agile, using state-of-the-art aeroderivative turbines that can be quickly activated and inject electricity into the national grid to provide the Brazilian society during intermittent periods with energy generation from hydro, solar, or wind sources.

of renewable energy intermittency.
In addition to supporting Brazil toward a low-carbon economy, the project enables carbon capture.
Advantages
Because they are flexible thermal gas-fired power plants, they can be deactivated in a short period time, favoring the integration of renewable energies into the Brazilian energy matrix.
RENEWABLE ENERGIES
The thermal power park can operate in a complementary manner to the intermittency of renewable energy generation, such as periods with no wind, no sun or reduced rainfall. 1 MW generated by this plant allows the entry of 6 MW of renewables into the National Integrated System.
NATURAL GAS
Along with being less polluting, generating electricity from natural gas is more competitive and cheaper than generating electricity from coal and diesel power plants. Thus, it contributes to lower electricity bills for consumers.
