The Modular de Campo Grande (Willian Arjona) power generation facility ranks 185th among 2402 plants in Brazil, highlighting its importance in a country where hydroelectric power predominates. With a capacity of 206.35 MW, this gas-fired facility is the 47th largest among 146 gas plants in Brazil, showcasing its significant role in the energy mix of a nation that relies heavily on renewable sources. Commissioned in 1999, the plant utilizes advanced gas turbine technology to efficiently convert natural gas into electricity, thereby contributing to the grid’s reliability and flexibility. Located in the heart of Brazil, the Modular de Campo Grande is relatively isolated, with its nearest plants being the ANHANGUERA EDUCACIONAL SA – CAMPO GRANDE oil facility at 2.16 MW and the Santa Izabel hydro plant at 1 MW. This isolation may underscore the facility’s critical role in providing consistent energy supply in the region, particularly during peak demand when hydro resources could be less available. Brazil’s energy profile includes a total capacity of 250,382 MW, with hydroelectric power accounting for a significant portion of this output. The Modular de Campo Grande contributes to about 0.08% of the national capacity, reinforcing the significance of gas plants in balancing the energy demands. As Brazil strives to enhance energy security and diversify its sources, facilities like the Modular de Campo Grande will be pivotal in ensuring a stable energy supply and supporting the transition toward a more balanced energy future. The plant’s operational longevity and technological efficiency will also play a crucial role in meeting Brazil’s increasing energy needs while minimizing environmental impacts.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
