Description
Description | Sete Lagoas is a 64MW thermal power plant (diesel) in the state of Minas Gerais. The plant was built by US Group Cummins and was commissioned in September 2002. The estimated total investments were US$30 million. In January 2002, Sete Lagoas signed a PPA with the Brazilian Commerce Chamber for Emergency Energy (CBEE), which was a two-year take-or-pay contract for the full capacity of the plant. Its energy would be distributed by Centrais Eletricas de Minas Gerais (Cemig). Sete Lagoas power plant was part of a priority program for thermal power plants (Programa Prioritario de Termeletricas), implemented by the Brazilian federal government in 2000. The program, in order to foster the construction of thermal power plants, provided a short-term take-or-pay contract and, in some cases, financing for the construction of the plants (through the Brazilian Development Bank, BNDES). US Group Cummins was also planning to invest in a second thermal plant (Anapolis), in the state of Goais, with 44MW of capacity. None |
