Russian energy company INTER RAO Export has selected Pöyry for technical audit services provision for the project of the construction of four power units in Cuba.

The new units will each have 200MW capacity. One unit is close to TPP “Maximo Gomez” (in the town of Mariel) and the other three at the TPP “East Havana” (in Santa Cruz del Norte, Mayabeque province).

Pöyry will provide technical audit services for survey and design works in the power plant project, including review of adopted technical solutions for their compliance with the best world design practices, and recommendations and suggestions for their improvement.

Pöyry thermal power regional director Ilkka Heikkilä said: “Pöyry is delighted to support Inter RAO LLC with this important and challenging project in Cuba. It will increase power capacity and simultaneously improve security of supply in the country.

“This assignment further strengthens Pöyry’s position as the world leader in providing energy efficient thermal power solutions. Following previous project announcements earlier this year, this new project reinforces Pöyry’s ranking as the preferred energy consultant.”
