The already robust energy service for the Bavaro and Punta Cana region – one of the Caribbean’s top tourist destinations – is being further strengthened with the addition of a 50 MW Smart Power Generation plant this year. The Consorcio Energético Punta Cana – Macao (CEPM) placed the order with the technology group Wärtsilä, and the turnkey delivery is being made on a fast-track basis.
Wärtsilä will supply a full Equipment, Procurement and Construction (EPC) delivery that includes a sub-station. With it, CEPM will increase the number of clients on their Thermal Energy division, providing steam to a number of hotels that use it for air conditioning and laundry, substantially increasing the total efficiency of the installation.
Fuel flexibility is just one of the many benefits provided by Wärtsilä’s Smart Power Generation approach as it can provide fast acting response as an enabler for renewable sources of energy within the system, as well as delivering high efficiency.
