Germany,Spain,Sweden : Iberdrola Engineering Awarded Contract To Build CCGT Plant In Berlin-Lichterfelde, Germany
Publish Date : 22-Mar-2013
IBERDROLA ENGINEERING has been awarded the contract to complete turnkey construction of a combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power plant in Berlin-Lichterfelde, Germany after winning an international tender launched by Swedish energy company Vattenfall.
The new plant will have total electrical capacity of 300 megawatts (MW) and a thermal capacity of nearly 230 MW, supplying the South western districts of Berlin with electricity and district heating. Construction work is expected to begin in February 2014, while start-up is scheduled for December 2016.
IBERDROLA Group subsidiary will be responsible for the project\'s entire development, including its design, engineering, procurement, construction, assembly and commissioning. The plant will be built in the Southwest of Berlin on the Lichterfelde site and replace a thermal facility that is operating there since 1974.
The bid submitted by IBERDROLA ENGINEERING was selected by Vattenfall which will own and operate the plant, after a tendering process that involved other companies.
The construction of a new combined cycle gas turbine plant is an important part of a climate protection agreement, signed by the Senate of Berlin and Vattenfall. In the agreement Vattenfall commits itself to halve its CO2 emissions in Berlin until 2020 (according to 1990).
The award of this contract underlines IBERDROLA ENGINEERING\'s leading position in power generation projects in Germany, one the world\'s most demanding markets. In recent years, IBERDROLA ENGINEERING has built combined cycle gas turbine power plants in different countries such as Spain, Algeria, Qatar and Mexico.
Present in over 30 countries, IBERDROLA ENGINEERING is a world leading energy engineering company that builds \"turnkey\" projects in the generation, nuclear, networks and renewables sectors, both for other IBERDROLA GROUP companies as well as for third parties.
