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.[15]

As of November 2022, the combined operating capacity of the Parnaíba complex was 1.8 GW (up from 1.4 GW following the commissioning of the Parnaíba V steam turbine unit)[15][16]; another unit under development (Parnaíba VI) was scheduled to raise the complex's capacity to 1.9 GW by 2025.[15][16] The units were as follows[17][18][19][20][21]:

  • 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)[17][22]; historically, the gas turbines of Parnaíba I were also sometimes referred to as Maranhão IV and V.[22][20]
  • 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 2025).[23][24][25][26]
  • An operating 56 MW plant known as Parnaíba IV that runs on three Wärtsilä 18V50SG gas engines.[27] 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.[28]
