Golar LNG is gearing up to launch construction of the land-based portion of an LNG power plant.

The New York-listed outfit’s Golar GenPower (GG Power) joint venture with Brazil’s GenPower Participacoes will start works in November, Sergipe state economic affairs advisor Jose de Oliveira Junior told Reuters.

His comments followed a ceremony in which state Governor Jackson Barreto set the cornerstone or the project near Aracaju, according to the Sergipe state government news service.
