Background
The power station will be made up of three gas turbines and one vapor turbine to generate 1.6 GW of energy in a combined cycle. All of the turbines are to be produced by Siemens.[18] The plant will connect with the SIN via a 500 kV transmission line.[18]
Gas for the plant will be supplied by the Porto do Açu FSRU, a floating storage and regasification unit in the nearby Port of Açu that began commercial operations in 2021. The FSRU, together with the GNA I and GNA II power stations, has been billed as the largest and most efficient LNG-to-power complex in Latin America.[19][20]
As of November 2021, Siemens reported that construction of the plant was already underway.[19] An official groundbreaking ceremony for the plant was held in January 2022[21], and in February 2022 Grupo Sener announced that it would provide all engineering services required to bring the plant online.[22]
In April 2023, Siemens delivered the first of the plant's three turbines, and GNA II reportedly remained on track to begin commercial operations in early 2025.[23]
As of September 2024, the GNA website and various other news sources continued to show an anticipated start-up date of January 2025.[20][24]
As of March 2025, GNA's website and other sources indicated that the plant was nearly finished and undergoing operational testing, with commissioning expected by the end of May 2025.[24][25]
