The Wartsila GasCube, manages to provide users with a pre-engineered power plant within a competitive cost framework, improving the Life Cycle Cost and Internal Rate of Return of such a project. Undertaking turnkey delivery of small power plants based on just a few engines is usually not an economically viable option for industrial customers or small independent power producers (IPP's). This is because turnkey project execution for a small power plant is often as labour intensive as the turnkey delivery of a much larger plant. The reason for this is that the required project-specific design, engineering and project management has a higher impact on the overall specific cost of a small project. Furthermore, the economics of scale do not act in favour of small "one-off" projects, either in producing equipment, or in site works.
