Overview
CATERPILLAR 2500KVA 3412 UNIDADE CAMPO DO MEIO is a 2 MW diesel power plant located in Brazil. It operates on oil and is currently operational.
CATERPILLAR 2500KVA 3412 UNIDADE CAMPO DO MEIO is a diesel power plant with a capacity of 2 MW, located in Brazil. The plant is operational and uses oil as its primary fuel. It is part of the country's distributed generation infrastructure, serving local energy needs. Brazil's power generation sector is regulated by national standards, including emission limits for diesel generators. The plant's small scale and diesel technology are typical for backup or remote power applications. Diesel plants in Brazil must comply with environmental licensing requirements set by state agencies. This facility contributes to grid stability in its region, providing peaking or emergency power. Its modest capacity makes it suitable for localized demand, reducing transmission losses. The plant's operational status ensures continued support for the local power supply.
Environmental context
The plant's use of diesel fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions, which are regulated under Brazilian environmental law. Its location in a rural area may reduce direct exposure to populated zones. The 2 MW capacity indicates a relatively small environmental footprint compared to larger thermal plants.
