Coal-Fired Plants in Portugal

Pego 1&2 Location: Santarém Operator: Tejo Energia SA Configuration: 2 X 314 MW Operation: 1993-1995 Fuel: hard coal Boiler supplier: Mague T/G supplier: ABB 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.
