Wärtsilä is to supply a 22 MW baseload power plant to Morocco’s state utility under an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract. The main evaluation criterion for the project was the levelized cost of energy (LCOE) during an operating period of 20 years.
The power plant consists of two Wärtsilä 46 engines, operating on heavy fuel oil with the capability to use light fuel oil as a back-up. This order is booked in the Q2 2017. The equipment will be delivered in early 2018, and the plant is expected to be fully operational in January 2019.
