New fossil power plants in Poland, Turkey and Indonesia
First to Poland in our look at new power plant developments around the globe, where the coal-fired power plant Opole in the south-west of the country is to be expanded with two new ultra-supercritical (USC) 900 MW units.
The two units, five and six, originally planned in April 2013 and then suspended, are to become a reality following the signing of contracts between Alstom and Polimex, Rafako and Mostostal Warsawa for the supply of the units to Polish utility PGE (Polska Grupa Energetyczna).
Unit 5 is due to enter commercial operation in 2018 and unit 6 in 2019. Alstom will supply the USC boiler islands, the steam turbine generator islands including the turbine hall equipment and the air quality control systems. The company previously retrofitted units 2, 3 and 4 at Opole to increase their efficiency.
Meanwhile in Turkey, a 600 MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant is to be built on the southern coast of the Sea of Marmara, near the city of Bandirma in the Balikesir province. The Bandirma II plant will be built for Enerjisa, a joint venture of Sabanci Holding and E.ON. The plant, which is expected reach an efficiency of over 60%, is scheduled for completion in 2016.
Finally, in Indonesia, what will be the largest engine-based power plant in the country is to be built by Wärtsilä. The 200 MW Pesanggaran Bali power plant on the island of Bali will be built for PT Indonesia Power, a subsidiary of the state utility PT Perusahaan Listrik Negara (PLN). The plant is scheduled to be partially operational by the end of December 2014, and at full output by the end of May 2015. The electricity produced will be fed to Bali's subsystem grid. It will be powered by twelve Wärtsilä 50DF dual-fuel engines running primarily on natural gas.
