Overview
ANHANGUERA EDUCACIONAL SA - CAMPO GRANDE is a 2.16 MW diesel power plant in Campo Grande, Brazil. It operates on oil fuel and is currently operational.
ANHANGUERA EDUCACIONAL SA - CAMPO GRANDE is a small-scale diesel power plant located in Campo Grande, Brazil. With a capacity of 2.16 MW, it serves as a local power source, likely supporting educational facilities or nearby infrastructure. The plant uses oil as its primary fuel, a common choice for smaller diesel generators in Brazil. While specific technical details are limited, diesel plants of this size typically operate as backup or peaking units. Brazil's power sector is regulated by national standards, including environmental licensing requirements for emissions. As a small facility, its environmental footprint is relatively modest compared to larger thermal plants. The plant contributes to local energy reliability, particularly in areas where grid connection may be less stable. Its operational status indicates ongoing activity in the region's power generation mix.
Environmental context
The plant's use of oil fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, though at a small scale (2.16 MW). Located in Campo Grande, a city in Mato Grosso do Sul, the facility operates in a region with growing energy demand. Proximity to populated areas may require adherence to local air quality standards. Smaller diesel units often lack advanced emission controls.
