Resumo: | |||||||||||||
Hydropower has historically been the predominant source in the Brazilian
electrical system. The mitigation of the inherent uncertainties of this source has
been partially addressed through the operation of thermal power plants. Currently,
wind and solar photovoltaic plants have dominated expansions in the generation
capacity due to concerns about climate change, government policies, and reduced
investment costs. Natural gas-fired thermal power plants, being more flexible and
less polluting, will continue to play a crucial role in mitigating the uncertainties
associated with renewable sources. Thermal power plants projects require
significant investments and therefore making a thorough financial feasibility
analysis is essential to ensure the success and financial return of power generation
companies.
This study proposes to analyze the financial feasibility, through the Free
Cash Flow method, of the natural gas-fired thermal power plant project, Porto de
Sergipe I. The results of the study presented a positive financial return, but
sensitivity studies indicate risks related to variations in the Weighted Average Cost
of Capital (WACC) and the investment payback period.
