Wärtsilä to supply 22 MW power plant to Morocco
(Thomson Reuters ONE) -
Wärtsilä Corporation, Press release, 4 August 2017 at 10 am EET
The technology group Wärtsilä is to supply a 22 MW baseload power plant to
Morocco's state utility under an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC)
contract. The main evaluation criterion for the project was the levelized cost
of energy (LCOE) during an operating period of 20 years. LCOE measures the
operating period costs divided by the energy produced.
The power plant consists of two Wärtsilä 46 engines, operating on heavy fuel oil
with the capability to use light fuel oil as a back-up. This order is booked in
the second quarter of 2017. The equipment will be delivered in early 2018, and
the plant is expected to be fully operational in January 2019.
The growth in energy demand in Morocco is a result of improvements in the
population's access to a basic infrastructure - including electricity.
With this new power plant, Wärtsilä will now have an installed base of 189 MW in
Morocco, the total installed base in Africa being 6 GW.
