APR Energy, a global leader in fast-track power solutions, today announces the signing of a mobile gas turbine contract to provide fast-track power to an industrial customer in the South Pacific. The plant will comprise mobile gas turbines producing a guaranteed 60MW and will power the customer’s mining operations.
APR Energy’s fuel-efficient mobile turbine plant was the customer’s preferred solution, meeting strict EU emissions requirements and able to fit within the challenging space constraints at the mine site. APR Energy’s plant will run on diesel and offers the flexibility to seamlessly switch to natural gas if needed.
The project adds to APR Energy’s track record in the extractive industry sector that includes successful power projects in Mozambique, Guatemala, and Botswana. It is also the company’s second large-scale turbine contract following its strategic alliance with GE and acquisition of the GE power rental business in October of last year. The plant is expected to begin operations in late Q2 2014 and run through to late 2015.
