SPIC Brasil and GE Vernova announced on September 14 that modernization of Brazil’s São Simão UG3 hydropower unit was completed, bringing the number of refurbished units to three out of six.
The full programme targets completion in 2029, with UG1 next. The plant’s 1,710 MW figure represents existing total installed capacity; it is not new capacity added through this announcement.
In an IEA scenario, electricity could cost-effectively supply 33 percent of final energy use by 2035; projected import savings are not realized outcomes.
The utility’s long-term plan projects lower emissions despite rising electricity demand; its solar, battery and reverse-osmosis targets are not completed outcomes.
