The state-owned Public Power has awarded the company with one of the orders to supply additional generating capacity to its power plants on the Greek island of Lesvos. The contract is to extend an existing power plant, with the extra 22MW capacity, to reach the increasing demand that occurs during the tourist season.
A public utility, The Electricity Authority of Cyprus (EAC), has ordered a power plant with three of the company’s 18V46 engines, which are expected to deliver around 50MW of energy. The new plant is situated in Dhekelia, near the town of Larnaca in Cyprus. The new plant is scheduled to be operational in summer 2010.
Both the contracts combined would represent a total output of 72MW of electricity. The orders result in the compnay’s power generation capacity, either on order or installed, in the region to approximately 600MW.
The compnay’s engines are equipped with the latest low emission technical solutions, meeting the environmental protection norms of the EU that requires the power plants to be equipped with the available harmful emission reduction technologies, and that they use very low sulphur content fuel oils. It is also equipped with a separate nitrogen oxides reduction system to remove most of the flue gas nitrogen oxides.
