Sse Plans Gas Peaking Plant

摘要

Stredoslovenska Energetika, the Central Slovak power distributor, which is 49% owned by Electricite de France, plans to build a 100-MWe simple cycle gas turbine plant near the southern town of Lucenec. Plans for the Koruna 1.6 billion (€48.9 million) project have been approved by the company's board, which is controlled by France's EDF, the company's project director told Platts, February 28.rnAn environmental impact assessment has been completed with the possibility that construction could begin this November and be completed by the end of next year, he said. SSE is currently evaluating offers for two 50-MW gas turbines from GE Energy and Rolls Royce, he added. SSE has selected a site near Lucenec, close to the border with Hungary, to take advantage of its proximity to both a high pressure gas pipeline and the high voltage grid, he said.
