Delivering Innovative Energy Projects That Create Lasting Impact

Description: Analysing fuel supply costs to power plants in southern Brazil • In advance of the privatisation of the Federal owned power generation company Gerasul, for this US investor, we prepared gas supply costs for power generation plants in Santa Catarina State in the south of Brazil, taking into account the costs of transportation via various competing international transportation routes; • For this we had to collect or estimate pipeline construction costs from the various different supply routes, including from Argentina, and compare those with the costs of delivered gas through the Bolivia-Brazil pipeline, with tariffs extracted from the contract for that pipeline; • We modelled the results and arrived at the costs of delivered gas to the various power generation sites. We were also able to work out at physically where it would be worthwhile to switch to an alternative pipeline gas supply route.
