Eneva buys TEPOR, Macaé port terminal

Eneva, a company that transforms oil and gas into energy, purchased the Macaé Port Terminal (TEPOR). The asset requires investments that easily exceed R$ 1 billion. This is another great leap for Eneva, allowing the company to finally develop thermoelectric power on the coast. The information was released by Brazil Journal.

According to the company’s CEO, Pedro Zinner, Eneva intends to develop a gas hub with associated infrastructure, and a regasification terminal for liquefied natural gas (LNG). The announcement of the investment comes at a time of water crisis in Brazil, where base thermals available 24/7 are increasingly in demand.

Currently, Eneva’s gas is called ‘gas to wire’, consisting of the use of gas extracted in Amazonas and Maranhão for thermal supply in the well-known ‘well mouth’ and, immediately afterward, to drain the generated electrical energy throughout the country. However, aiming at the use of imported gas or even pre-salt gas, Eneva developed the so-called ‘gas to power’, creating the logistics for receiving gas on the coast and the construction of thermal plants.

The location of Macaé is strategic for Eneva. The site has the ability to have access to imported gas and even pre-salt gas, which is much more competitive when compared to imported gas.

TEPOR already has environmental licenses. The site must have a liquid terminal and also offshore support, in addition to another terminal for the movement of oil. The project also foresees two berths capable of handling up to 2 million barrels of oil daily.
