The Azulão Power Complex, located in Silves, Amazonas, is Brazil's premier operational gas-to-wire (wellhead-to-busbar) asset.
Key Metrics & Assets
- Capacity: 295 MW (Azulão I); potential combined-cycle bottoming expansion (Azulão II).
- Sponsor & Operator: Eneva.
- OEM Supplier: GE Vernova (heavy-duty gas turbine package).
- Commercial Operations (COD): Declared August 25, 2026.
- Fuel Supply: Onsite captive gas from Eneva's Azulão field reservoir, eliminating external fuel covenants and midstream risks.
- Contract Architecture: 15-year regulated capacity contract (PPA) homologated under the [[news-3216090|ANEEL LRCap]] framework.
Strategic Position
Azulão I operates in the isolated Northern submarket (Sistema Isolado), capturing premium tariff pricing due to transmission constraints. For IPPs, lenders, and sponsors evaluating the [[news-3216267|2026 capacity auctions]], the project represents the definitive case study in structured project finance and cash-flow predictability without merchant exposure.
