The Brazilian power company Eneva has completed the acquisition of the 1,593 MW Porto de Sergipe combined-cycle gas-fired power plant located in Barra dos Coqueiros in Sergipe (Brazil) from New Fortress Energy (NFE) and its partner Ebrasil Energia, an affiliate of Ebrasil, for BRL6.1bn (US$1.3bn) in cash. As part of the transaction, Eneva bought 100% of the shares of Centrais Elétricas de Sergipe Participações (CELSEPAR), which owns 100% of the equity interests of the Sergipe power plant, and Centrais Elétricas Barra dos Coqueiros (CEBARRA), which controls 1.7 GW of expansion rights adjacent to the Sergipe plant, for a total implied enterprise value of BRL10.2bn (U$2.2bn). Gas accounts for 8.5% of Brazil's installed capacity with 16.3 GW (2021). Since 2019, the country has added 2.8 GW of gas-fired power plants. More than 3 GW of gas-fired projects are currently under construction.
