Combined-cycle power plant 770 MW
Doosan Skoda Power has been awarded a contract to supply a steam turbine and generator for the 770MW EMPALME I combined cycle plant in Mexico. The EPC consortium, formed by SENER and OHL, selected Doosan Skoda Power to supply a 300MW, three-casing steam turbine and generator including support in installation and commissioning. The plant, located in Sonora state in north-western Mexico will be operated by CFE, Mexico’s state-owned electric company and the largest electric utility in Latin America. The average annual energy demand in the north of Mexico is estimated to grow by 3.6% and it is expected that the EMPALME I plant will cover part of the energy demand in this growing region. Doosan Skoda Power’s condensing steam turbine with reheat will be designed to withstand high inlet steam temperatures as well as the demanding requirements of operation. The project also proves the current world trend of moving away from coal-fired power plants to combined cycles, to achieve higher efficiency in fuel usage and a reduction in pollution. As one of the most progressive market in Latin America, Mexico is at the forefront of this trend.
