Background
Originally announced as a R$4.5 billion investment designed to provide power for 3.5 million households in Espírito Santo state[6], the Presidente Kennedy Power Station received its preliminary license from Espírito Santo's state environmental authority in July 2019, followed by an installation license in February 2020.[7] The two-unit power station project was to connect with the proposed Presidente Kennedy FSRU import terminal and a two-segment gas pipeline.[8]
The estimated generating capacity of each unit has increased from 440 MW to 575 MW since the plant was first announced.[9][10][11][12][13]
Both units of the Presidente Kennedy plant were listed as participants in Brazil's national energy auctions in September and December 2021[11][14], but neither unit emerged victorious.[15]
The Presidente Kennedy FSRU, which would provide gas for the power plant, is just one component of the much larger Porto Central industrial port project currently under development on the Espírito Santo coast. News reports in 2023 and 2024 indicated that construction of the port could get underway as early as Q4 2024[16], but the associated LNG import terminal was not expected to begin operations until 2027 at the earliest.[17]
