Oiti Project

EDF Oiti Transmissora was founded in 2022 after EDF Power Solutions Brazil won the ANEEL Transmission Auction No. 002/2022. The company committed to constructing the Porto do Açu substation (SE) and transmission lines to section the existing 345 kV Transmission Line (LT) connecting UTE GNA I to SE Campos. Subsequently, the company will be responsible for the operation of SE Porto do Açu and approximately 50 km of transmission lines between the new substation and SE Campos.

The project was developed to meet the long-term electricity demand of Porto do Açu, located in the municipality of São João da Barra (RJ), and the Santo Amaro region in Campos dos Goytacazes (RJ), representing a significant step for local economic development. Given its importance, the project has been declared a strategic enterprise for the State of Rio de Janeiro and considered of public utility.

Construction Phase: 
The installation activities for the new SE Porto do Açu are scheduled to begin in june 2025. The construction phase is estimated to last 24 months, allowing for the commissioning and operation of the structures. During the peak of construction, up to 63 direct jobs are expected to be generated, along with indirect jobs and services needed in the service chain.

Operation Phase: 
Upon completion of the construction phase, following energization and testing phases (commissioning), the operation phase will commence for the existing 345 kV Transmission Line segment between the new Porto do Açu substation and SE Campos, covering an approximate distance of 50 km.
