The Wartsila corporation announced on 27 December that it will build the biggest power plant complex, with a total output of 430 MW, delivered so far by the company in the world. The announcement was made by Sampo Suvisaari, general manager for Central America and the Caribbean.
He said the company had been awarded a contract to supply a complete dual-fuel power plant to the Dominican Republic. The turnkey project was ordered by Ege Haina, the largest power generation company in the DR. The order is for around EUR150 million.
The Quisqueya II power plant ordered by EGE Haina will feature 12 Wartsila 50DF generating sets running primarily on natural gas, but with the capability to switch to heavy fuel oil as needed. The plant is scheduled to be fully operational during the second half of 2013, and will supply baseload electricity to the national grid.
This will be a twin power plant to the Quisqueya I plant located at the same site, which was ordered by Barrick Gold in September 2011. The two power plants have a total output of 430 MW. They have separate owners, but both plants will be constructed on the same site as a single unit, that can be operated from one control room.
EGE Haina, a 50 per cent state-owned and 50 per cent privately owned company, owns several power plants in the Dominican Republic including a 150 MW barge-mounted power plant supplied by Wartsila. Wartsila already has a very strong presence in the country having more than 1100 MW of installed electricity generating capacity in operation.
