Background
Plans for the Ressurreição power station date back to 2018, when it was originally proposed as a 1370 MW natural gas-fired power plant[5][6]; it is currently being developed as part of the larger Port of Suape LNG-to-power project, which also includes the 21 million m3 per day Suape regasification terminal.[7][8][9]
In December 2020, CH4 Energia and the government of Pernambuco signed a Memorandum of Intent stating that the power station project was viable, with Pernambuco slated to receive R$3 billion (three billion Brazilian reais) of investment with the power station generating approximately two thousand jobs during the construction and operational phases.[8]
The power station's first unit (Ressurreição I) was originally expected to be operational by the end of 2022[10], though delays in the commissioning of the associated Suape LNG terminal have called that timeline into question.[11] Gas for the plant is to be supplied by an LNG regasification vessel.[8] Local news reports from January 2021 state that the plant will have a capacity of 1300 MW and be fueled with LNG (liquefied natural gas).[9] On the Brazilian government's September 2021 registry of power plants participating in the 2021 A-5 national energy auction, the project appears under the name Porto de Suape I and II, with capacity for each unit listed as 695.88 MW. A third unit (Ressurreição III) is also listed, with a proposed capacity of 617.3 MW.[12]
In October 2022, CH4 Energia's bid to build an LNG import and regasification terminal in Suape port was rejected in favor of a competing bid from Oncorp, potentially diminishing the Ressurreição project's chances of moving forward.[13][14]
