...and Baden-Wurttemberg
Ansaldo Energia has been awarded EPC (engineering, procurement and construction) and LTSA (long term service agreement) contracts (total value €100 million) by EnBW for a 300 MW simple cycle power plant to be built in Marbach, Baden-Wurttemberg (Germany).
Marbach 4, to be operational by October 2022, will employ an AE94.3A gas turbine.
The contract is part of the German TSO network reserve project (besondere netztechnische Betriebsmittel – bnBm), prompted by the growing renewables contribution, with tenders issued in four areas of southern Germany. Ansaldo Energia has already been awarded an EPC contract for the southern Bavaria region (Irsching simple cycle power plant, also employing an AE94.3A machine).
