This plant, constructed with the latest innovations for the transmission, storage and production of energy using biomass sourced from forest and agricultural-based residues, has a net installed power of 20 megawatts, giving an annual production of 160 million kWh/year.
Furthermore, the plant offers optimal environmental performance, thanks to the incorporation of a reheat cycle and a bag filter to capture the combustion gases at the boiler outlet, among other technologies.
As a result of the contract award, Ingeteam is to hire some 30 new workers, who will be directly involved in this project. In order to maintain a stable growth path in today's ever-changing, complex market, Ingeteam is focussed on business and customer diversification.
This also involves a clear movement towards cross-sectoral multi-technology, materialising in new projects such as the awarding of this new contract in which Ingeteam is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Biomass plant in Mérida.
