APR Energy commissioned its new power plant in Egypt. The plant will support the development of a large-scale industrial complex being built for the Egyptian Ethylene and Derivatives Company (ETHYDCO). APR Energy’s turnkey solution features three GE aeroderivative mobile gas turbines running on clean-burning natural gas, together with the associated balance of plant.
As standard with its full-service package, APR Energy handled all design, installation and commissioning work for the plant, and will continue to manage all ongoing operation and maintenance. The plant will run for a minimum of 12 months.
“This is a major project for Egypt’s growing industrial sector, and we are pleased to have APR Energy as our power generation partner,” said ETHYDCO Chairman Abd-el Rahman Zeid. “Due to our need for a reliable and cost-efficient natural gas solution, their mobile gas turbines were the best fit to meet our critical electricity needs. We have been impressed with the speed and flexibility APR Energy has demonstrated in delivering our unique project requirements on time, and appreciate the responsiveness its people have shown during every stage of the process.”
John Campion, APR Energy Chairman said “APR Energy’s Egyptian power plant exemplifies the use of mobile gas turbines as an affordable self-power solution for customers in energy-intensive industries such as petrochemicals, mining, EPC and oil and gas. Our turnkey solutions not only provide a highly-reliable source of power to keep critical operations running, but also enable customers to focus on their core business rather than worrying about power generation.”
