ärtsilä has signed a 5-year performance-based agreement for a 20 MW power plant combined with a 40 MW plant extension installation at a gold mine in Africa. The agreement was signed in March 2022. Guaranteeing the availability of power delivers crucial support to the mine’s operations. Matching power availability with operational demand is required, monitored and incentivised on a daily basis. The agreement further covers the generating engines’ optimised usage and fuel consumption. The power plant, featuring four Wärtsilä 32 engines commenced operations in 2016, after which the extension project with a further four Wärtsilä 32 engines was added and commissioned in 2021. Wärtsilä has had an earlier Operation and Maintenance agreement with the customer since 2017, which has now evolved into this performance-based agreement. Globally, Wärtsilä currently has 14 GW of power plant capacity covered by long-term service agreements, of which 2 GW is in Africa.
