Background
The Novo Tempo Barcarena power station is part of a larger gas-to-power project that also includes the Celba FSRU (Floating Storage and Regasification Unit), a berthing pier, and a gas pipeline.[11] In November 2019, Pará's governor, Helder Bardbalho, identified Novo Tempo Barcarena as a priority project because the power station serves the "public interest".[11] The power station and its supporting infrastructure was projected to create 7,500 jobs and receive R$2 billion (two billion Brazilian reais) worth of investment.[11]
By February 2021, the Novo Tempo Barcarena plant had received all of its environmental licenses and was authorized to start construction, with energy commercialization slated for July 2025.[12][13] The project was listed as a participant in Brazil's A-5 national energy auction in September 2021.[14] As of mid-2022 the power plant was reportedly under construction and scheduled for completion by 2025.[15][16]
In May 2023, New Fortress Energy confirmed that the power plant was under construction and remained on track to begin commercial operations in July 2025.[17]
In February 2024, New Fortress Energy announced that their Barcarena FSRU was fully operational, and ready to begin supplying the Novo Tempo Barcarena power station in 2025. Construction of the power station was said to be 50% complete, with commissioning expected in the third quarter of 2025.[18] As of mid-2024, other news outlets reported that the power plant was on schedule for a July 2025 start-up date.[19]
In a November 2024 quarterly report to investors, New Fortress Energy confirmed that the Barcarena power plant was 80% complete, with commercial operations still on track to commence in the second half of 2025. The same report indicated that New Fortress's adjacent 1576 MW Portocém power station was already 25% complete, marking an acceleration of that plant's development timeline.[20] Fuel for both power plants was to be supplied by NFE's newly commissioned Barcarena LNG import terminal.[21]
Ownership
The Barcarena gas-to-power project is being developed by CELBA (Centrais Elétricas Barcarena S.A.). Several companies have held a stake in the project over the years, including Hygo Energy Transition, Golar LNG, Stonepeak Partners LP, Evolution Power Partners and Oak Participações.[22][23][24] Following a series of mergers and acquisitions in 2021, New Fortress Energy was expected to assume 100% ownership of CELBA.[25][26][27]
