Summary sheet
Investments for the upgrade to CCGT (Combined Cycle Gas Turbine) and conversion to natural gas operation of two large oil-fired plants each of about 1 250 MWe capacity.
To improve the energy efficiency of generating capacity and to reduce specific atmospheric emissions.
Project investments are designed to improve energy production efficiency and hence to reduce energy losses and atmospheric emissions. Efficiency improvements are substantial for CCGT conversions since energy efficiency will increase from a present 35% to over 50%. Following EU Directives and national legislation, national authorities issued authorisations for the upgrade of these two plants within the scope of existing permits taking also into account the reduction of specific atmospheric emissions.
The promoter’s procurement procedures comply with the relevant EU legislation, in particular with Directive 93/38/EEC.
