Quick facts: In March 1993, the first unit at the $685mn Pego plant was
brought into service as scheduled about 150km north of Lisbon. In Nov
1993, the plant was sold to a consortium led by International Power, with
45% ownership, and Endesa with a 35% share while EDP retained a 10% equity
participation. The Pego sale resulted in an infusion of PTE 155bn to the
national treasury. In 2006/07, Alstom SCR systems were retrofit to both
units by SMM. Alstom FGD scubbers were also added. The FGD/SCR equipment
was part of a €170mn investment with Alstom which also included upgrades
of the existing electrostatic precipitators.
