Parnaiba power station (Usina Termelétrica Parnaiba) is an operating power station of at least 1814-megawatts (MW) in Santo Antônio dos Lopes, Maranhão, Brazil with multiple units, some of which are not currently operating. It is also known as Maranhão III (Unit II), Maranhão IV & V (Unit I-V), Nova Venecia (Unit III).

Background

The Parnaiba power complex is one of Brazil's largest gas-fired electricity producers, fueled entirely by natural gas produced in the adjacent gas fields in a "reservoir-to-wire" configuration.[16]

As of November 2022, the combined operating capacity of the Parnaíba complex is 1.8 GW (up from 1.4 GW following the commissioning of the Parnaíba V steam turbine unit)[16][17]; another unit under development is scheduled to raise the complex's capacity to 1.9 GW by 2025.[16][17] The units are as follows[18][19][20][21][22]:

  • An operating combined cycle plant with a capacity of more than 1000 MW, formed by the gas turbines of the 676 MW plant originally known as Parnaíba I (start date 2013) and the steam turbine of the 385 MW Parnaíba V plant (commissioned in 2022)[18][23]; historically, the gas turbines of Parnaíba I were also sometimes referred to as Maranhão IV and V.[23][21]
  • A second operating combined cycle plant known as Parnaíba II (start date 2016), with a capacity of 519 MW.
  • An operating 178 MW gas turbine plant known as Parnaíba III or Nova Venécia (start date 2013).
  • A 92 MW steam turbine plant under development known as Parnaíba VI, designed to be joined with Parnaíba III to create a new combined cycle unit (scheduled completion date late 2024 or early 2025).[24][18][25][19][20]
  • An operating 56 MW plant known as Parnaíba IV that runs on three Wärtsilä 18V50SG gas engines.[26] As of November 2022, the Parnaíba IV plant was not included in GEM's Global Gas Plant Tracker due to the tracker's minimum capacity requirement of 50 MW per generating unit.[27]
