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, a global leader in lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets, has signed a five-year maintenance agreement with Bonny Gas Transport Limited, (BGT), a subsidiary of Nigeria LNG Limited. Wärtsilä will monitor and service the engines on board the BGT’s six new LNG carriers and deliver spare parts, as well as expertise for inspections and major service overhauls. The contract marks the beginning of a new era of cooperation between Wärtsilä and BGT, and is the first of its kind for Wärtsilä in Africa.
Nigeria LNG Limited exports most of its cargo to the European Asian markets. The six LNG carriers are equipped with five Wärtsilä 50DF engines each and operate primarily on gas.
Dynamic Maintenance Planning increases predictability of costs and operations
Wärtsilä’s Dynamic Maintenance Planning (DMP) concept utilizing Condition Based Monitoring (CBM) will determine the actual engine maintenance needs. Bonny Gas Transport will also have around the clock access to online operational and technical support.
“We are very excited about this opportunity to provide superior maintenance services to Bonny Gas Transport. In addition to increasing the engine uptime, Bonny Gas Transport wanted to improve maintenance planning and operative cost control and this is something Wärtsilä can offer. With the continuous remote monitoring of the equipment and the dynamic maintenance planning concept, we can ensure optimal availability while minimising the risk of disruptions to operations,” says Simon Auseth, General Manager Business development, Marine Agreements, Wärtsilä.
The agreement is the first to apply Wärtsilä’s Data Acquisition System, part of Wärtsilä’s Genius services which helps customers optimise their operations and seize the opportunities that digitalisation offers. The system provides real-time access and analysis of data with one system and enables automated measuring- and guarantee of power availability.
