Finnish energy firm Fortum has opened a €130m combined heat and power plant (CHP) in the city of Klaipeda, Lithuania.
The new power plant will use municipal and industrial waste as well as biomass to provide district heating to residents and businesses in Klaipeda, and electricity to the Lithuanian power grid.
The project will have the capacity to generate about 60MW of heat and around 20MW of electricity.
In addition, the plant is equipped with flue-gas condensers that allow the recovery of an additional 15MW of heat at peak demand times.
The power plant will replace old natural gas-fired heat production in Klaipeda and reduce CO2 emissions by about 100,000 tonnes per annum.
RES Americas has extended Siemens' service and maintenance contract for two wind projects in the US state of Texas.
As per the new deal, Siemens will provide long-term services for the 26 SWT-2.3-93 wind turbines at the Whirlwind Energy Center and 72 SWT-2.3-93 turbines at Hackberry wind farm.
Spanish renewable energy firm Iberdrola has acquired the 70MW Dos Arbolitos wind farm in Mexico from Gamesa. The project will feature 35 Gamesa wind turbines with 2MW capacity each, which are due to be delivered at the end of 2013.
After completion, the wind farm will increase Iberdrola's wind power capacity in Mexico to 278MW, which will allow the company to supply electricity to about 150,000 homes in the country.
This capacity will enable the company to avoid the emission of 560,000 tons of CO2 a year into the atmosphere.Located in the town of Juchitán de Zaragoza, in the state of Oaxaca, the wind farm is expected to start operations in 2014.
Coca-Cola bottling facility in Brazil will install three of GE’s Jenbacher natural gas engines to power a new 12-megawatt (MW) quadgeneration plant to help meet the factory’s on-site power and heating requirements.
Brazilian energy company Light Esco will install three ecomagination-qualified Jenbacher J624 engines at the Andina Brasil-Coca-Cola bottling facility in Jacarepaguá, outside Rio de Janeiro. GE delivered the three, 4-MW engines in January 2013, and the power plant is expected to begin operating in November 2013.
Typical cogeneration systems generate cost-effective supplies of electricity and heat, but Coca-Cola Andina’s quadgeneration plant also will produce cold water, carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen to support the bottling operations. By installing quadgeneration technology to recover food-grade CO₂, factories can reduce emissions by up to an additional 40 percent when compared to using separate power and heat generating equipment.
Danish wind turbine manufacturer Vestas has secured an order from Aspiravi and Limburg win(d)t to supply 27MW onshore turbines for wind power plants in Flanders, Belgium.
Under the deal, Vestas will install and commission three units of the V112-3.0MW turbine and nine units of the V90-2.0MW turbine for the plants.
The contract also includes a 15-year Active Management Output (AOM) 4000 service agreement.
Construction of the turbines is expected to commence by the end of this year, while the projects are anticipated to be commissioned by the beginning of 2014.
Siemens Energy and its consortium partner GS Engineering & Construction (GS E&C) have completed and commissioned two combined-cycle power plant (CCPP) projects, Sohar 2 and Barka 3, in the Sultanate of Oman.
Both the plants originally went into simple-cycle operation in 2012, to meet Oman's increasing demand for electricity, before being put into commercial operation in combined-cycle mode in April 2013.
With their combined electrical generating capacity of 1.5GW, both plants will increase the country's existing capacity of 4.5GW to about 6GW.
Sohar 2 was built in the Sohar industrial park, which is around 200km north-west of the nation's capital, Muscat, while Barka 3 was constructed in the adjacent area of Muscat.
Siemens supplied the main components for both plants, which included two SGT5-4000F gas turbines, one SST5-5000 steam turbine, three SGen5-2000H generators, the electrical equipment, and the SPPA-T3000 instrumentation and controls system.
GS E&C supplied the heat recovery steam generators and was responsible for the civil construction work, electrical transformers and ancillary systems, as well as equipment installation.
Spain-based Gamesa has secured a contract from Consórcio Morrinhos to supply 150MW of wind turbine capacity to five wind farms that will be built in Brazil.
Under the contract, Gamesa will install and commission 75 of its G97 2.0MW wind turbines in five 30MW wind farms, to be built in the town of Campo Formoso in Bahia state.
Installation of the wind turbines is expected to commence in the second half of 2014 and be completed by the first half of 2015.
The contract also requires Gamesa to handle operations and maintenance at all five wind farms for a period of 15 years. Once operational, all the five wind farms are expected to produce about 727,000MWh of electricity a year, equal to the annual power requirement of 297,000 Brazilian households.
The wind farms will also prevent the emission of more than 215,000 tonnes of carbon per year.
