Wärtsilä has been awarded the turn-key contract for the second phase of a power plant at a giant dairy farm project in Saudi Arabia. Contracted by the National Agricultural Development Company (NADEC) of Saudi Arabia, the 13.7 MWe plant extension is due to be put into operation in December 2008.
The plant is at Haradh, 280 km from Riyadh, where NADEC has large cow farms and an associated major industrial plant. The plant extension comprises two 7 MWe generating sets, each powered by a Wärtsilä 32 engine.
Wärtsilä will deliver all the electrical and mechanical equipment for the new power plant.
