A project, which is almost one century old, is becoming a reality and is one important milestone in the energy integration of Latin America. The basis of the pipeline project is the buy and sell contract between YPFB and Petrobrás signed in August 1996 , in which YPFB undertakes to sell and Petrobrás undertakes to buy increasing quantities of gas, starting with 8 million m3 / day, attaining 16 million m3/day in the eighth year. This project is part of the policy to increase the participation of natural gas in the Brazilian energy matrix.

Escelsa and Petrobrás have agreed with almost everything in order to construct as partners the first large thermoelectric power plant in Espirito Santo. By the agreement, Escelsa will be responsible for supplying all the money and Petrobrás would supply natural gas during 15 years. In times of crisis, Escelsa has asked for a longer time schedule and it is looking for new partners for the business, which is viable and important for Espirito Santo State.
