MYTILINEOS has undertaken the development of three open-cycle gas-turbine (OCGT) power plants in the United Kingdom, through the Sustainable Development Project Sector.
In particular, MYTILINEOS has signed contracts with three subsidiaries of Drax Group plc, the largest renewable electricity company in the United Kingdom, namely Hirwaun Power Limited, Progress Power Limited and Millbrook Power Limited to manufacture 3 OCGTs with power of about 299 MW each.
The contracts
The contracts include the design, supply and construction (EPC) of all 3 stations, which will be identical. The equipment of each gas turbine will be Siemens Energy SGT5-4000F. Each generating unit will operate locally (with remote operation) as a cutting-edge unit and will operate up to 1,500 hours per year to support the grid during periods of high electricity demand and during any stressful events.
All 3 OCGTs are expected to be commercially operational by 2024.
The Drax Group
The Drax Group deals with the production of energy from renewable sources, the production of sustainable biomass and the sale of electricity from renewable sources to companies. The group manages a portfolio of sustainable biomass production, hydroelectric and pumped hydroelectric storage facilities at several locations in England and Scotland. The company also operates a global bioenergy supply company with production facilities at 17 plants and facilities in the United States and Canada, producing compressed wood pellets for its own use and for customers in Europe and Asia.
This is the second energy project for the MYTILINEOS Sustainable Development Project in the UK, as the company has already undertaken the design, procurement and construction (EPC) of a Protos Energy Recovery Facility in Cheshire, England. will process 400,000 tons of non-recyclable waste annually, delivering 45 MW to the grid. The projects will strengthen MYTILINEOS ‘position in the United Kingdom, but also in the European energy market.
