Combined Cycle Conversion Completed
Aimed at maximizing efficiency, the three plants have been expanded and converted from simple to combined cycle. We successfully achieved combined cycle COD in all three plants, reaching an aggregate capacity of 750 MW.
Strategic Expansion Completed
Our technology
MSU Energy has entrusted the engineering, construction and maintenance of the plants to a world leader in power generation technology.
The plants have 4 GE LM6000-PC Sprint turbines, with a nominal generation capacity of 50 MW each. Well-known in the industry for their high average availability, these turbines run on natural gas and diesel.
Our energy
in Argentina Based on the commitments assumed with CAMMESA ‑the Wholesale Electricity Market Administration Company‑, MSU Energy delivers 750 MW to the national electric system.
