Thanks to its special know-how in state-of-the-art gas turbines and power plants, the business unit is responsible for the design and construction of more than 230  power plant projects in Italy and abroad with an installed capacity exceeding 20,000 MW. These include simple-cycle and combined-cycle gas-fired power plants, coal-fired power plants, biomass and waste-to-energy plants, cogeneration, repowering, electrical and energy distribution systems for civil and industrial use, and district heating systems. Continuing research into the most innovative technological solutions has led to significant reductions in atmospheric emissions, conforming to the most advanced environmental regulations.
 

Location: Olevano Lomellina (PV), Italy
Client: BiOlevano
Capacity: 18 MW

The power plant, with an installed capacity of about 18 MW, will be built by Tecnimont as general contractor. Construction will start in June 2009 and the project should be completed by mid-2011. Maire Tecnimont will form a special-purpose company to manage the plant in association with local biomass providers, who have guaranteed its entire lifetime raw materials supply.
The project is the first example of this magnitude of real integration between the agriculture and power sectors in Italy.
The power station will produce about 140,000 MWh per year, sufficient for a town of about 40,000 inhabitants. It will have virtually zero environmental impact and no CO2 emissions. A traditional coal-fired power plant of this size would emit more than 100,000 tonnes/year of CO2.
 
 

Location:  Itaqui, Maranhao State - Pecem, Cearà State (Brasil)
Client: MPX (EBX) / MPX (MPX-EDP)
Capacity: 360 MW / 2x360 MW

The two power plants will be designed in full compliance with stringent environmental standards, higher than those foreseen by current Brazilian regulations. Maire Tecnimont, through its subsidiary Maire Engineering do Brasil, owns 65% and leads the special purpose company Mabe Construçao e Administraçao de Projetos Ltda. (MABE), that will execute the project together with other Brazilian partners. The first project will realize a coal fired power station rated at 360 MW, to be built near the port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhao. The value of the multicurrency contract is about €380 million at current exchange rates. The power station will be operative in 44 months. The second project foresees the realization of a coal fired power station with two lines rated at 360 MW each and a combined rated capacity of 720 MW, to be built near the port of Pecem, in the state of Cearà. The power station will be operative within 47 months.
   
   
Location: Puerto Coronel, Chile
Client:  Colbun S.A./Endesa S.A.
Capacity: 370 MW for Colbun plant, 370 MW for Endesa plant
Two coal-fired power plants will be realized in Chile, in the Puerto Coronel area (VIII region), approximately 500 km south of the capital Santiago. Following international bidding, a consortium of Tecnimont, Maire Engineering do Brazil, Tecnimont Chile, and the Slovakian company Slovenské Energetické Strojarne (SES), was awarded two contracts.
In both contracts, Maire Tecnimont will be in charge of the design, supply, assembly and commissioning of the whole plant, including the steam turbosets assembly supplied for both projects by General Electric of the US and the boilers supplied by the consortium partner SES. The projects are extremely important for Chile and will make a major contribution to solving the problems caused by a shortage of electricity. both plants are due to be completed within the first half of 2010.
