In context: how this plant compares

At 1.4 MW, ITALSPEED CAÇAPAVA is below the median oil plant in Brazil (2.4 MW). Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Oil-fired plants burn heavy fuel oil or diesel, usually as peaking or backup capacity on islands and grids without gas pipelines; high fuel cost keeps their utilisation low.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
