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 NSD Corporation, Press release 24.2.2000
Wärtsilä NSD is to supply an 81.3 MW power plant to the Tata Electric Company (TEC) in Belgaum, India. The power plant, a turnkey project, comprises five Wärtsilä 46 engines and auxiliary equipment.
TEC is a local power utility generating and distributing electricity to the city of Mumbai and its environs as well as the state of Maharashtra. As an independent power producer (IPP) TEC will build and own the new power plant and sell the electricity it produces to the national grid. TEC will build the plant based on an electricity sales agreement with the state of Karnataka. The power plant will be completed in January 2001.
India is a major power market for Wärtsilä NSD. The company’s main customers in India have traditionally been industrial companies, which purchase their own power plants to ensure an uninterrupted power supply. Deregulation of the Indian electricity market is creating demand for IPP-type power plants, one of the first of which is this new Wärtsilä NSD installation.
In 1999 Wärtsilä NSD delivered altogether 3.663 MW marine and power plant engines, of which 1.320 MW power plant engines. Wärtsilä NSD Corporation generated MEUR 1.896,6 in net sales. The power plant net sales were MEUR 655,4 million. Wärtsilä NSD employs 9300 people.
