location of plant/unit/turbine
Explanation:
The difference in capital expenditure (Capex R$ 1 b) is so high that the chart entry is probably not referring to a turbine with a different axis (vertical/horizontal/inclined-axis wind turbine, for example). Consequently, location seems more likely, as indicated by the following note:

Por meio da Nota Técnica no 254/2011-SCG/ANEEL, de 29 de julho de 2011, a SCG complementou as análises efetuadas na Nota Técnica no 77/2011-SCG/ANEEL, reiterando as conclusões nela contidas, no sentido de para autorizar a empresa Mizu S.A. apresentar revisão do Projeto Básico da PCH Marechal Floriano, com partição do eixo original em dois outros eixos, desde que a soma das potências seja no mínimo igual a 26.100 kW, como originalmente outorgada e não haja interferência nos aproveitamentos de montante e jusante, com vistas à alteração do ato autorizativo caso seja aprovado (in which case, more than one turbine would apparently be required).

Obs: To save space on the chart, it may be best to write /plant location/ (or, depending on the context, /unit location/ or/ turbine location/). After all, there tends to be some hint of context even in charts.

  -> The original text? Who knows. A logical deduction? A confirmed possibility? Yes. Whatever the final answer, thanks for being there, engineer.

  -> Thanks, Tobias. Glad someone else found a similar use of the term, and for a different project yet. We are apparently on the same /eixo/ of logic and - a star for /location/.
