Supporting the power generation of Commercial & Industrial operations

Stable and reliable power generation,    even in challenging conditions

In Middle East and Asia, Commercial & Industrial players face specific challenges in power generation. Rough ambient conditions, such as high temperatures, dust, and scarce water resources, present a need for reliable solutions capable of working in such environments. Remote locations of power plants limit the access to power grid, which can affect the reliability and overall efficiency of the power plant. A reliable source of electricity is essential to maintain uninterrupted production schedules of Commercial & Industrial operators. 

Growing interest in decarbonising operations, along with an increasing share of renewable energy sources, presents another challenge. Integrating renewables increases the volatility of the power system. Solutions able to integrate different energy assets are needed to endure stable electricity output while reducing the levelised cost of energy.

I found a common thing between the [successful] projects. It was when we brought all our stakeholders together for the project. We ensured that the right drivers were in place. And we also did it for the good of the people. That's when we were able to move a project forward.

    When Saudi Arabia announced the Saudi 2030 Vision in 2016, Yamama Cement Company turned to Wärtsilä for a solution that would be in accordance with the vision's regulations requiring more efficient power usage. As Yamama Cement Company started negotiations with Wärtsilä in 2014, it compared the viability of using gas turbines with Wärtsiläs internal combustion engine (ICE) technology – ultimately favouring ICE.
