APR Energy Australian power plant operational as summer heats
up
APR Energy, the global leader in large scale, fast-track power,
announced today that it has commissioned its mobile gas turbine
power plant at Port Hedland, Pilbara, Western Australia. The plant
features four state-of-the-art GE TM2500+ aero-derivative turbines
running on clean-burning natural gas. The facility can be rapidly
expanded by an additional two turbines as capacity requirements
grow.
Located in the hub of Australia's extractive industry, the plant
provides power to state-owned utility Horizon Power, which serves
more than 100,000 residents and more than 10,000 businesses and
large industrial customers.
The plant, which commissioned in late 2014, will run through the
second quarter of 2017 and serves as a bridging solution while
TransAlta Energy (Australia) develops a permanent power plant, the
completion of which is expected in early 2017. The plant has been
designed for the extreme conditions in Western Australia, where
temperatures can reach 48 degrees Celsius (118 degrees Fahrenheit).
The project adds to APR Energy's growing presence in Asia Pacific,
bringing its generation capacity in the region to 410MW.
APR Energy Managing Director Clive Turton said, "We are very
pleased to have commissioned our plant, quickly and on schedule, in
time to help Horizon Power meet the extra demand for power during
the hot summer months. Our mobile turbine power plants have proved
to be an ideal fit for utilities looking for bridging solutions
while permanent plants are being built, and are the technology of
choice for customers needing large-scale, rapidly-deployed
solutions that provide greater grid stability, low capital costs
and low emissions."
