Southern Power, Wärtsilä sign agreement for flexible gas power plant projects
ATLANTA — Southern Company subsidiary Southern Power and Wärtsilä, a supplier of flexible generation technology, signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop two flexible gas power plant projects, which could be as large as 450 megawatts (MW) each. Southern Power will lead this effort.
"Renewables are an important part of a diverse energy mix, and flexible generation complements the rapid growth of intermittent renewables," said Southern Power President and CEO Buzz Miller. "This agreement is an early stage in a lengthy process, but we believe this technology could be an excellent solution for our customers and for many others in the marketplace that we hope to serve through this relationship."
After contracts signed with the cities of Denton and Tallahassee over the past 12 months, Wärtsilä continues to grow its footprint in the USA. The current installed base, including projects under construction, is more than 3,000 MW. Globally, Wärtsilä's installed power plant base is 63 GW in 176 countries.
