Wärtsilä to supply 310 MW power plant to Bangladesh
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 2 June 2016 at 2 pm EET
Wärtsilä will supply a 310 MW Smart Power Generation plant to United Group in
Bangladesh. The order comprises seventeen Wärtsilä 46 engines running on heavy
fuel oil. The contract includes engineering and equipment (EEQ) and additionally
an extensive five year spare parts supply agreement. The equipment is scheduled
to be delivered in early 2017 and the plant will be operational in March 2018.
The power plant will be the largest power station based on internal combustion
engines in Asia.
"Engine based power plants are the best technical solution for Bangladesh
because of fluctuating demand," says Moinuddin Hasan Rashid, Managing Director
at United Anwara Power Ltd.
The economy, industry, and population are all growing in Bangladesh, which in
turn drives increased investments in power generation, and particularly in non-
gas powered power plants. This combined-cycle plant will be connected to the
national grid in Anwara in the Chittagong district, and will supply power to
local industries and population centres. Wärtsilä's flexible power plant fits
well into the erratic load pattern of Bangladesh by providing flexible power
generation without losing efficiency.
"We are happy to further strengthen our good relationship with United. This
power plant will increase our installed capacity with United to around 850 MW in
Bangladesh," says Göran Richardsson, Regional Director at Wärtsilä.
With this project Wärtsilä provides roughly one fifth of the grid capacity in
Bangladesh with an installed base capacity of 2800 MW.
