Gas Natural to Build Power Plants in Barcelona
Posted on: Monday, 24 March 2008, 09:00 CDT
Spanish energy company Gas Natural will invest more than E500 million to build a facility with two power plants, each with a capacity of 425MW, in Barcelona, Spain, in a bid to make the electricity system more efficient by bringing generation closer to the point of consumption.
The plant is expected to begin operating commercially in the first half of 2010. The project reportedly has the full planning permission, including administrative authorization from the Spanish Department of Industry, an integrated environmental permit from the Generalitat of Catalonia, and a positive environmental impact statement from the Ministry of the Environment, awarded in July 2007.
Gas Natural noted that the power generated will have direct access to distribution networks, guaranteeing stable supplies in an area of high consumption. The plant will incorporate a combustion system which will minimize emissions of nitrogen oxides.
The installation project includes plans to build a closed circuit refrigeration system which will reportedly reduce to a minimum the volume of water needed.
