SAO PAULO - Brazil’s government has resumed studies to build a large hydroelectric power plant in the northern border state Roraima, which currently relies on the shaky Venezuelan grid, officials at state energy planning agency EPE told Reuters.
Roraima has not received power from Venezuela since March 7, the Brazilian Energy Ministry said on Tuesday. The environmental licensing process for the dam may kick off next year and a construction license could be ready for private investors in 2021, said Elisângela Medeiros de Almeida, EPE’s environmental superintendent.
