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.[20]
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)[20][21]; another unit under development (Parnaíba VI) was scheduled to raise the complex's capacity to 1.9 GW by 2025.[20][21] The units were as follows[22][23][24][25][26]:
- 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)[22][27]; historically, the gas turbines of Parnaíba I were also sometimes referred to as Maranhão IV and V.[27][25]
- A second operating combined cycle plant known as Parnaíba II (start date 2016), with a capacity of 519 MW.
- A third operating combined cycle plant with a capacity of 270 MW, formed by the 178 MW gas turbine originally known as Parnaíba III or Nova Venécia (start date 2013) and the 92 MW steam turbine known as Parnaíba VI, which was placed into service in March 2025.[28][29][30][31][32][33]
- An operating 56 MW plant known as Parnaíba IV that runs on three Wärtsilä 18V50SG gas engines.[34] 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.[35]
