Background
In December 2023, Brazil’s Ministry of Regional development announced R$626 million (US$123.7) in funding (60% of the value of Azulao I) to Eneva for the project, to be disbursed throughout 2024.[6]
In 2024, Eneva originally envisioned an investment of up to R$5.8 billion (US$1.15 billion) for Azulão I and II specifically.[7] In August 2024, Eneva announced the signing of a loan financing contract worth R$1 billion with Banco do Brasil SA for the construction and implementation of units II and IV, although details of the disbursement schedule itself were not released.[8] In January 2025, they received R$500 million via a bank credit note from Banco da Amazônia SA, with resources from the Constitutional Fund for Financing the North (FNO), for units II and IV, bringing their alleged contracted resources for the project to R$2.5 billion.[9] No specific investments mention Azulao III.
Sargent & Lundy are the EPC contractors for the project.[10]
