Quick facts: Piratininga TPP was conceived in the early 1950s after poor
water conditions left the rapidly-industrializing Sao Paulo region short
of power. The site is on Canal Pinheiros near Billings reservoir. The
first two units went online 15 Nov 1954. In the mid 1980s, the fuel was
switched to low-sulfur fuel oil and starting in Aug 2000, the plant began
using natural gas. In Jan 2001, EMAE formed a consortium with Petrobras
which installed two pairs of Alstom GT11N2 gas turbines in simple cycle in
2002/03. The extension power plant is known as Fernando Gasparian.
