Wärtsilä to optimise power plant operations in Colorado for lower costs and efficient environmental performance
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 2 November 2015 at 10 am EET
Wärtsilä, the leading global supplier of flexible and efficient power plant
solutions and services, has signed a six-year maintenance agreement with Plains
End II for its power plant in Colorado, USA. Plains End II is indirectly owned
by Polaris Energy, LLC. The broad range of services included in this agreement,
signed in August 2015, cover the delivery of spare parts, services and
performance upgrades as well as training and services for major overhauls for
the power plant's fourteen Wärtsilä 34SG engines with a combined output of 118
MW.
Wärtsilä's lifecycle product improvements and solutions as well as the training
of plant personnel will help Plains End II to optimise its power plant's useful
life and performance and reduce the risk of unscheduled maintenance. This lowers
the power plant's operating costs in a safe, reliable and environmentally
responsible way.
Wärtsilä's flexibility and ability to offer financial predictability to
maintenance planning and service met the customer's needs. Plains End II wanted
a partner that has the expertise and track-record in servicing Wärtsilä 34SG
engines.
"We are very excited about this opportunity to deepen our relationship with
Plains End II. With our one stop shop for spare parts as well as the
intelligence and accumulated knowledge that we have gained through research and
development, we want to help Plains End II increase the efficiency of its
operations and to grow its business," says Sam Stråka, Technical Sales Manager,
Wärtsilä Services.
Plains End II's power plant was commissioned in 2008 at the same location where
Wärtsilä had delivered another power plant, Plains End, already in 2001. Plains
End and Plains End II are good examples of fast ramping power plants that
balance electrical grids that utilize wind power for environmentally sustainable
power generation. Tyr Energy, an owner and manager of independent power
production assets, provides asset management services for Plains End and Plains
End II. Plains End and Plains End II are operated and maintained by NAES
Corporation, an independent services company dedicated to delivering value to
facilities across power generation and other industries.
