Gás Natural Açu (GNA), an SPV composed of Prumo Logistics, BP and Siemens, has reached financial close at the end of March on the development, construction, and operation of an LNG-to-power project located in the Brazilian state of Rio de Janeiro.
The EUR1 billion (US$1.12 billion) GNA1 Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG)-fired combined cycle power plant is set to be one of the most efficient thermal power plants in Latin America. The project features the highly efficient and proven Siemens H-class gas turbine.
The construction of the plant has started in 2018 with the completion expected by the beginning of 2021. Siemens will be responsible for the delivery of the complete power island with three H-class gas turbines, one steam turbine, four generators, and heat recovery steam generators and instrumentation and control systems. The company will also provide long-term service and operation and maintenance (O&M) for the power plant. The service scope includes advanced remote monitoring and diagnostics, part of the Siemens Digital Services portfolio.
