ESS was selected to lead commissioning for eight GE TM2500 gas turbines, providing technical leadership, on-site expertise, and comprehensive testing required to bring the facility online.
Brazil’s heavy reliance on hydroelectric generation makes the country vulnerable to seasonal changes. During a period of unusually low rainfall, national power capacity was severely challenged, creating an urgent need for fast, dependable generation.
To stabilize the grid and support regional demand, natural gas delivered via pipelines from Bolivia was routed to a new facility in Cuiabá, Brazil. The Ambar Energeia plant required rapid installation and commissioning of multiple mobile gas turbine units capable of delivering power quickly and safely.
