- Coal source(s): Seival mine
Background
The 600 MW Seival project was initiated by Tractebel Energia S.A., then acquired by MPX Energia SA (subsequently renamed Eneva) in November 2010. The project has already been granted an installation license and would be supplied with coal from the proposed Seival mine in southern Rio Grande do Sul state.[1]
Eneva originally planned to place a bid for the Seival plant in Brazil's December 2013 national energy auction, but opted out due to unviably low energy prices.[2]
In September 2014, Eneva renewed its license for Seival[3], and in November 2014, higher energy prices encouraged Eneva to enter the Seival project in Brazil's national energy auction.[4][5]
Seival ultimately lost out in the bidding to the Pampa Sul power station.[6] The 600MW Seival project was listed once again as a participant in Brazil's A-5 energy auction in April 2015[7], but was passed over in favor of hydroelectric, natural gas- and biomass-fueled power projects.[8]
In May 2019 Copelmi acquired the rights to develop Eneva's coal-fired power projects in Candiota, including the 600 MW Seival power station. Noting that Seival's previous environmental license had already expired, company executive Roberto Faria announced that Copelmi would instead pursue development of Eneva's 727 MW Sul power station, to be renamed Nova Seival power station.[9] There has been no subsequent news about the 600 MW Seival project and it appears to be cancelled.
