Enel offloads Brazilian gas plant for $88mn
The Brazilian arm of Italy's Enel announced on June 9 it had sold its 100% interest in a 327-MW gas-fired thermal power plant in Brazil's northeast city of Fortaleza to local firm Eneva for 431.6mn reais ($88mn).
The Central Geradora Termeletrica Fortaleza facility is situated at the Pecem industrial and port complex in Brazil's Ceara state. Enel said the sale was in line with its commitment to net-zero emissions by 2040, noting that once the plant had been divested its generation portfolio in Brazil would be 100% renewable.
