The technology\ngroup W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 has announced the first order of its innovative new W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\nModular Block solution for power generation to Aggreko, a global provider of mobile,\nmodular power, temperature control and energy services. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Four W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Modular Block enclosures, with one medium-speed W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 32 engine in each, will provide 40MW of energy to an off-grid gold mine in Mali, West Africa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Modular Block solution will replace the existing diesel generators currently powering the mine. Thanks to the high efficiency of the engines, the new solution will create substantial monthly savings in fuel costs. Fast-starting and load following capabilities will facilitate the integration of renewables into the mine\u2019s energy system. The mine will be powered by a reliable, flexible and affordable solution, which will help to enhance the mine\u2019s environmental impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Modular Blocks, providing a total of 30MW of power, will be installed next to the existing power station in 2020. The fourth 10MW Modular Block will be installed in 2022. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The agreement with Aggreko includes an option to add a fifth 10MW unit to the power plant. The scalability of W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Modular Block solution enables the mine to add additional power capacity if needed to support the future growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4\nModular Block solution opens up exciting new opportunities, both for permanent\nand rental electricity generation,\u201d said Jean Nabb, Director, Strategic\nPartnerships, W\u00e4rtsil\u00e4 Energy Business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWe are\ndelighted to be partnering with Aggreko in this rapidly growing market, and\nthis first order is encouraging for the future success of our cooperation.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
