MAN Energy Solutions expands power plant in Suriname

摘要

In consortium with Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC), MAN Energy Solutions S.E. is expanding the DPP2 Bemland power plant capacity in Suriname's capital, Paramaribo, from 84 M.W. to 126 MW. Financed by OLIBIS N.V., MAN Energy Solutions is supplying two MAN 18V48/60TS engines for the expansion, each engine driving a 21 M.W. alternator to feed an additional 42 M.W. of electrical power into the Paramaribo power grid that services approximately half of the country's population that lives and works in the capital city. The DPP2 63 MW Bemland power plant, owned and operated by the Government-owned utility Energiebedrijven Suriname (EBS), was originally built by BWSC and MAN Energy Solutions in 2012 and financed by the Government and the local company OLIBIS. The plant was expanded in 2015 with an additional 21 M.W. For this second expansion of 42 M.W., the project is again being financed by OLIBIS in conjunction with EBS and the Surinamese Government.
