Wärtsilä Energy is at the forefront of the transition towards a 100% renewable energy future. We help our customers and the power sector to accelerate their decarbonisation journeys through our market-leading technologies and power system expertise.
Our solutions include flexible engine power plants, energy storage and optimisation technology, and services for the whole lifecycle of our installations. Our engines are future-proof and can run on sustainable fuels.
Our track record comprises 79 GW of power plant capacity, of which 18 GW are under service agreements, and over 125 energy storage systems, in 180 countries around the world.
Our power system modelling expertise and on-the-ground experiences have shown that, although countries and regions have their own journeys and needs for net zero power systems, the global path to net zero is very similar.
Wärtsilä power plants are the ideal solution for decentralized power production and an attractive alternative to the conventional model of centralized power plants.
Wärtsilä's solutions are available for large plants of 500 + MW capacity. Our gas based power plants are highly flexible and offer the following benefits:
Our power plants can be used for base-load applications or for peak-load needs or to complement wind energy. Our engines can handle liquid fuels such as HFO/LSHS, LFO, LBF or natural gas. Versatile dual-fuel engines can switch between liquid fuel and gas, on line. The CCHP solutions have a very low CO2 footprint, and merit status of ‘deemed renewable energy’.
We provide complete EPC solutions and lifecycle O&M support.
Wärtsilä now has an installed base of more than 7000 MW with close to 384 power plants of different types in the Middle East region. This includes Wärtsilä's largest power plant in the world, IPP3 in Jordan, powered by 38 Wärtsilä 50DF multi-fuel engines with a combined capacity of 573 MW. In recognition of its world record size, the plant has been accepted into the Guinness book of records.
We have a total installed base of about 2 GW in Saudi Arabia, with a large service organisation to provide lifecycle support to customers.
Wärtsilä leads the transition towards a 100% renewable energy future. We help our customers in decarbonisation by developing market-leading technologies. These cover future-fuel enabled balancing power plants, hybrid solutions, energy storage and optimisation technology, including the GEMS energy management platform. Wärtsilä Energy’s lifecycle services are designed to increase efficiency, promote reliability and guarantee operational performance.
Our track record comprises 74 GW of power plant capacity and more than 80 energy storage systems delivered to 180 countries around the world.
The power sector will face dramatic changes in the next decade. These challenges will be discussed in our newly launched webcast series Rethink Energy: Navigating change in the power sector. In these webcast episodes, we will be talking to industry experts to get their perspectives on topics such as Rethinking Power Grids, Power Generation, Energy Storage, Energy Transition, and Systems Planning.
Wärtsilä Corporation received in July 2007 its first order from Belarus for the delivery of a combined heat and power (CHP) plant. Wärtsilä will supply gas-fired generating sets and other equipment to the Belarussian state-owned forestry-to-wood processing enterprise “Bellesbumprom” for CHP plant at a new paper mill in the city of Shklov, approximately 300 kilometres east of Minsk.
Wärtsilä will supply two gas-fired generating sets and two dual-pressure waste heat recovery boilers. The engines will generate electricity and run on natural gas. Their exhaust gas heat will be recovered in the individual boilers. The delivery will take place in summer 2008.
All electricity and steam output of the CHP plant will be employed in the Shklov paper mill. This new mill has an annual capacity of 40,000 tonnes of newsprint and lightweight coated paper.
“This contract is proof of Belarus’ commitment to improving the energy efficiency of power production by using high-efficiency gas engines,” says Harry Lindroos, Regional Director for Eastern Europe, Wärtsilä Power Plants. “For Wärtsilä this is the first contract from Belarus and as such an important entry to future opportunities in the Eastern European markets,” he continues.
Forestry, timber, wood processing, paper and wood pulp are major industries in Belarus as forests cover nearly 40% of the area of the country. These industries employ some 90,000 people.
