Wärtsilä supplies 378 MW power plant to El Salvador
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Stock Exchange release, 16 October 2015 at 10.00 am EET
Wärtsilä has been contracted to supply a major Flexicycle power plant to Energía
del Pacífico S.A. in Acajutla, El Salvador. It will be the largest and most
efficient power plant in El Salvador, and the first in Central America to be
fired by LNG-based natural gas. The 378 MW installation will feed electricity to
the national grid.
The order is estimated to be included in Wärtsilä's order book in 2016, and the
plant completion is scheduled for 2018. The value of the order is approximately
EUR 240 million.
"One of the reasons why we selected Wärtsilä technology was the high
reliability offered by Wärtsilä's multi-unit Flexicycle solution," said
Alejandro Alle, Managing Director of Energía del Pacífico.
The power plant will comprise nineteen Wärtsilä 50SG engines and a combined
cycle steam turbine, producing high fuel efficiency of close to 50 percent. The
Dry Flexicycle technology with a closed loop cooling system requires zero water
consumption, which is a major benefit in El Salvador which has recently suffered
from the worst droughts in 40 years.
Wärtsilä's installed capacity in Central America and the Caribbean is
approximately 4800 MW, and globally 58 GW.
