Background

The GNA I power station began commercial operations in September 2021[11], becoming Brazil's second-largest natural gas-fired power plant.[12] According to Gás Natural Açu's website, the power station is made up of three gas turbines and one vapor turbine which together generate 1.3 GW in a combined cycle.[13] The energy is connected to the SIN via a 345 kV transmission line 52 km long which connects to the Campos dos Goytacazes substation.[13]
