Background
Originally announced as a R$4.5 billion investment designed to provide power for 3.5 million households in Espírito Santo state[8], the Presidente Kennedy Power Station received its preliminary license from Espírito Santo's state environmental authority in July 2019, followed by an installation license in February 2020.[9] The two-unit power station project was to connect with the proposed Presidente Kennedy FSRU import terminal and a two-segment gas pipeline.[10]
The estimated generating capacity of each unit has increased from 440 MW to 575 MW since the plant was first announced.[11][12][13][14][15]
Both units of the Presidente Kennedy plant were listed as participants in Brazil's national energy auctions in September and December 2021[13][16], but neither unit emerged victorious.[17] The project appears to have secured investment as part of a package in the 2026 energy auction, described as follows: “The Southeast Hub will consist of the Porto Norte Fluminense II B, Presidente Kennedy, Presidente Kennedy I, and Jandaia I thermal power plants. Natural gas to supply the plant will be provided by a new LNG terminal to be developed by the company. The power sales commitment is for 1,093.5 MW, for a period of 15 years, with a fixed annual revenue of R$ 2,436,074,722.82.”[18]
The Presidente Kennedy FSRU, which would provide gas for the power plant, is just one component of the much larger Porto Central industrial port project currently under development on the Espírito Santo coast. News reports in 2023 and 2024 indicated that construction of the port could get underway as early as Q4 2024[19], but the associated LNG import terminal was not expected to begin operations until 2027 at the earliest.[20]
