Brestanica Location: Slovenia Operator: Termoelektrarna Brestanica doo Configuration: 95-MW, 3+2 CCGT block with 5001P gas turbines, 2 X 114 MW GT11N2 gas turbines Fuel: natural gas, LFO Operation: 1943-2001 HRSG supplier: Biro T/G supplier: AEG, Siemens, Jugtorubina, Elin, ABB EPC: ABB, IBE dd Quick facts: Brestanica is in the valley running between the Sava River and Bohor in eastern Slovenia. For over 60yrs, it ran as a coal-fired station but when the nearby Senovo mine closed, it was decided to repower two steam sets with three gas turbines using gasoline and LFO, an arrangement then unique in Europe. These went online in 1975. In addition to peak energy supply, the station was designed to back-up the Krsko nuclear power station which started construction in 1974. Later, two larger gas-fired gas turbines were added and these were turned over on 12 Jul 2004.

Cerveny Mlyn Location: Czech Republic Operator: Teplarny Brno as Configuration: 98-MW, 1+1 CCGT block with V64.3A gas turbine CHP Fuel: natural gas Operation: 1998 HRSG supplier: Austrian Energy & Environment CZ T/G supplier: Siemens, GE Quick facts: This combined-cycle CHP replaced an obsolete coal-fired heating plant. It delivers steam and hot water to Brno’s district heating system. Heat output is 15 MWt (in steam) and 125 MWt (in hot water). The horizontal, triple-pressure HRSG includes a supplementary natural gas burner. Photograph courtesy of

Esch-sur-Alzette Location: Luxembourg Operator: Twinerg SA Configuration: 385-MW single-shaft CCGT 9001FA gas turbine CHP Fuel: natural gas Operation: 2002 HRSG supplier: Alstom T/G supplier: Alstom EPC: Alstom, CDC Compagnie de Construction Sarl & Cie Secs Quick facts: In the mid-1980s, the government launched a feasibility study into building a CCGT plant in Luxembourg and, in Dec 1995, the government and Arbed formed a special-purpose entity to promote construction. Tractebel won the plant tender and then assigned the project to Electrabel, which created Twinerg on 28 Apr 1998. In Apr 1999, Arbed and Cegedel invested in the proejct which is owned as follows Electrabel (GDF Suez) 65%, Cegedel 17,5%, and Arbed 17.5%. In Dec 2001, the plant successfully completed its initial performance tests after 29mos of construction. First operation was on 7 May 2002 and the Twinerg plant opened on 15 Nov 2002.Steam is used for heating Esh and is available for the Belval Industrial Parl.

Kaarsto Location: Norway Operator: Naturkraft AS Configuration: 420-MW, single-shaft CCGT block with SGT5-4000F gas turbine Fuel: natural gas Operation: 2007 HRSG supplier: Balcke-Durr T/G supplier: Siemens EPC: Siemens Quick facts: In the mid-1990s, Naturkraft was formed by Norsk Hydro, Statkraft, and Statoil to develop two gas-fired power plants and in Oct 1996, NVE gave the go-ahead for gas-fired CCGTs at Kaarsto and Kollsnes. In Oct 2000, the plants were approved by SFT, a decision appealed by several environmental groups. The government upheld the permits in Jul 2001, but the projects then languished until finally shaken loose by a combination of persistence on the developer’s part, substantial price spikes for hydroelectricity, and new agreements with the Storting on carbon dioxide treatment. In Sep 2004, Statoil withdrew from the consortium and in Jul 2005, Siemens received a turnkey order for the €245mn power station. Output is expected to be 2.3 TWh/yr.

Rya Location: Sweden Operator: Göteborg Energi AB Configuration: 261-MW, 3+1 CCGT with SGT-800 gas turbines CHP Fuel: natural gas Operation: 2006 HRSG supplier: Alstom, Austrian Energy & Environment CZ T/G supplier: Siemens EPC: Siemens, NCC Quick facts: This is the largest CCGT plant in Sweden and will meet around 35% of Goteborg's district heating and 30% percent of its power requirements. The overall plant efficiency of 92.5% will save the carbon dioxide emissions of 600,000 tpf. The Rya plant can operate in island mode if necessary and has the necessary equipment to pressurize Goteborgs DHS. Gas is supplied from Denmark. Siemens has a 7yr service agreement.

Vresova Location: Czech Republic Operator: Sokolovská uhelná as Configuration: 2 X 185 MW 1+1 CCGT blocks with 9001E gas turbines Fuel: coal syngas, natural gas Operation: 1996 HRSG supplier: Alstom T/G supplier: EGT, GEC-Alsthom, Skoda EPC: Brno Quick facts: The Suas gasification plant originally started up in the 1960s for town gas production and the syngas was used for power generation starting in the mid-1990s. The plant uses the ZUV process derived from the Lurgi Day Ash technology and processes about 2,000tpd of local lignite. The Vresova complex also makes briquettes.
