(Reuters) - Brazilian energy firm Ambar Energia is set to buy electric utility Copel's 81.2% stake in natural gas-fired power plant UTE Araucaria for $65.24 MM, the firms said on Thursday.
The facility, located in the southern state of Parana, has an installed generation capacity of 484.15 megawatts (MW).
