Den Haag Repower
Location: Zuid-Holland
Operator: E.ON Benelux
Configuration: 121-MW, 1+1 CCGT with LM6000PD gas turbines CHP
Operation: 2008
Fuel: natural gas

The work cost €70mn and turned the the oldest, still operational power plant of its kind in Holland into a modern CHP plant. Heating customers include the Government building department, the Dutch parliamentary complex, Westeinde Hospital and the Des Indes Hotel. The Den Haag repowering work was completed per a 2005 agreement between E.ON, ENECO, and the city. The project won Power magazine's 2009 Marmaduke award.

  Sloe
Location: ZE
Operator: Sloe Centrale BV
Configuration: 2 X 435-MW single-shaft CCGT blocks with SGT5-4000F gas turbine CHP
Operation: 2009
Fuel: natural gas
HRSG supplier: CMI
T/G supplier: Siemens
EPC: Siemens, Ballast Nedam Infra
Quick facts: This project in Vlissingen-Oost is a JV of Delta BV and EDF. In Dec 2008, Project Finance International named the Sloe financing European Power Deal of the Year. Fortis, HSBC and Royal Bank of Scotland were initial MLAs with debt split between a €510m amortising loan and a €25m debt service revolver. Following financial close, the banks brought BBVA and Bank Nederlandse Gemeenten into the senior phase, raising €210m of the €325m they needed. They were followed by Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi, ING and Societe Generale. Electricity output is traded by each party on the de-regulated European power market. In Jul 2008, the partners selected contract management software from Navita to manage the commercial aspects of the tolling agreements. Steam is sold to energy services company Deltius in Vlissingen, an affiliate of Delta. The plant was handed over on 12 Feb 2010. Sloecentrale is designed for 250 starts/yr with NOX emissions <15ppm and thermal efficiency of about 59%.
