Background

The Termosuape power station is a project of Aruaña Energia, a subsidiary of the Oncorp Group founded in 2001 that operates power plants in Brazil and Argentina.[5][6]

The Termosuape project was listed in a participant in multiple national energy auctions between 2019 and 2021[7][8] but has not yet placed a successful bid.[9]

As of April 2021, plans for the power station were contingent on development of an LNG terminal proposed by Aruaña Energia for the port of Suape. If constructed, the plant would begin generating electricity in 2025 or 2026.[5]

In October 2022, Oncorp emerged as the winning bidder among the five companies competing for rights to build an LNG import and regasification terminal in Suape port, potentially improving the Termosuape project's chances of moving forward.[10][11]
