The upgrade will turn InfraLeuna’s existing power plant into a high-performance combined-cycle gas and steam turbine plant, with improved efficiency and flexibility. Works focus on connecting the existing gas turbine to the new heat recovery steam generator (HRSG).
Fuel utilization rate of the upgraded gas-fired power plant will reach 84%.
As general contractor for the modernization, Kraftanlagen will be responsible for the engineering studies, construction and commissioning of the entire plant. The modernization of the CCGT will provide a competitive supply of process steam and electricity for companies installed in the chemical complex near Leipzig.
“This investment will enable us to optimise the energy supply of the Leuna chemical complex once again and create the right conditions for it to pursue its growth,” Christof Günther, CEO of InfraLeuna said, welcoming the support of Kraftanlagen München GmbH, as a skilled general contractor.
Kraftanlagen pointed out the latest contract win follows the commissioning of the Kiel coastal power plant in January.
