Overview
Norsa Refrigerantes - Simões Filho is a 1.05 MW diesel power plant in Simões Filho, Brazil. It operates on oil and is currently operational.
Norsa Refrigerantes - Simões Filho is a small-scale diesel power plant located in Simões Filho, Brazil. With a capacity of 1.05 MW, it falls into the small-scale category for power generation, typically serving local or industrial needs. The plant operates on oil as its primary fuel, a common choice for backup or peaking power in Brazil. While specific technical details are limited, diesel plants of this size often use reciprocating engines. Brazil's power sector is regulated by ANEEL, with environmental oversight from IBAMA and state agencies. This facility likely provides backup power or supports local grid stability in the Simões Filho area. Its small capacity suggests a role in emergency power or industrial self-generation, contributing to energy security for the region.
Environmental context
The plant's use of oil as fuel results in CO2, SOx, and NOx emissions typical of diesel generation. Its small capacity limits overall environmental impact, but proximity to populated areas could affect local air quality. Brazil's environmental regulations, including CONAMA resolutions, govern emissions from such facilities.
