Nuon aims to build two efficient gas-fired power plants at existing production locations in the province of Noord-Holland, in The Netherlands. At its Hemweg site in Amsterdam, Nuon plans to build a gas-fired power plant with a capacity of 500MWe to replace the current gas-fired power plant. In Diemen, Nuon plans to expand its facilities with a combined-heat and power plant of the same capacity. The development of these plants is reportedly part of Nuon’s wider strategy to modernize its generation infrastructure. Nuon has decided to develop the locations to make use of the existing infrastructure and cooling water supply. Both plants will reportedly utilize combined-cycle gas turbine units. Nuon expects the definitive investment decision for the construction of these power plants to be taken in 18 months time.
