Wartsila is to supply a 30 MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant to CGGC UN Power in China. This will be the first gas-fired medium-speed engine power plant in China “marking the entry of a new technology in the market” Wartsila said.
The Guangdong Huadian Panyu Wanbo CBD power plant will be located in Guangzhou. It will consist of three Wartsila 34SG engines running on natural gas and is scheduled to become fully operational in 2018. The company’s scope covers the equipment supply.
“This is a landmark project and proof that innovative, flexible and efficient power generation plays a key role in the Chinese power system” Wartsila stressed.
CHP plants “are gaining foothold in the Chinese market, supported by the need for a reliable heat and power supply as the population increases” it added.
