Background

The power station will be made up of three gas turbines and one vapor turbine to generate 1.6 GW of energy in a combined cycle. All of the turbines are to be produced by Siemens.[9] The plant will connect with the SIN via a 500 kV transmission line.[9]

Gas for the plant will be supplied by the Porto do Açu FSRU, a floating storage and regasification unit in the nearby Port of Açu that began commercial operations in 2021. The FSRU, together with the GNA I and GNA II power stations, has been billed as the largest and most efficient LNG-to-power complex in Latin America.[10]

As of November 2021, Siemens reported that construction of the plant was already underway.[10] An official groundbreaking ceremony for the plant was held in January 2022[11], and in February 2022 Grupo Sener announced that it would provide all engineering services required to bring the plant online.[12]

In April 2023, Siemens delivered the first of the plant's three turbines, and GNA II reportedly remained on track to begin commercial operations in early 2025.[13]
