Aggreko Signs Cost-Saving Next Generation Gas Generator Contract
This solution is expected to provide $6 million of savings to the island in the first two years, resulting in electricity savings for the end user.
The generation solution will be comprised of 1.2 MW power modules to maximise, system reliability, efficiency and flexibility while providing power to approximately 26,000 customers. Supply will seamlessly vary to cover day and night-time demand-side changes, using Aggreko's modular power design to ensure homes and businesses have access to reliable power.
Aggreko's solution replaces an existing power Generator, which has been offline since it was damaged due to mechanical component failure. The 20MW power plant will meet all local and federal EPA emissions requirements including a continuous emissions monitoring system. The recent incorporation of LPG fuel to the island is providing St. Croix with a cleaner burning fuel and lower cost of generation when compared to diesel.
Signed with the Virgin Islands Water & Power Authority (VIWAPA), this LPG-fuelled NGG Generator solution comprises a $23.8 million contract lasting 36 months.
