The technology group Wartsila will ensure the efficiency and reliability of Termo Mechero Morro S.A.S. E.S.P.s power plant near Yopal in Colombia. The seven-year operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement includes performance guarantees and optimises the commercial operations of the gas-powered El Morro plant.

Wartsila will provide full operation and maintenance services, including personnel and spare parts. Guaranteed asset performance means that Wartsila guarantees the efficiency, reliability and availability of the power plant while the customer sells the produced energy on the local electricity market. Wartsila advanced digital solutions will be applied in the El Morro plant to ensure optimal operations: the plant equipment will be remotely monitored and its maintenance needs will be optimised based on the actual condition.
