Termoeléctrico de Colón Repower
Location: Panama
Operator: SUEZ Energy Central America
Configuration: 3 X 40 MW
Fuel: coal
Operation: 2011
Boiler supplier: Ansaldo
T/G supplier: Tosi, Ansaldo
EPC: Sadelmi, ICONSA
Quick facts: This $160mn project replaced three Bunker C oil-fired boilers
with a single pulverized coal-fired boiler. The T/G sets originally went
online from 1968-1974. Coal is sourced from Colombia and landed at the
Cemento Panamá port facility in Bahía Las Minas, Colón,1.5km from the
plant. This company also recycles fly ash from the new plant. URS prepared
the EIS and this was approved by ANAM in Mar 2007. SUEZ has a new PPA with
Elektra for plant output. Completion was well behind schedule due to
Sadelmi's bankruptcy proceedings.
