, a global leader in advanced technologies and complete lifecycle solutions for the marine and energy markets, has been selected to supply its innovative Smart Power Generation technology to a new power plant in Kentucky.
The new power plant, which is being developed by CME Energy, will be crucial for providing reliable electricity to the local grid system. Wärtsilä’s Smart Power Generation technology will play a key role in balancing the grid by providing fast-starting and flexible power generation capabilities.
The technology will help to ensure that the grid remains stable and secure, especially during times of peak demand or when renewable energy sources are not as readily available. This will help to minimize disruptions and ensure that customers receive a consistent and reliable supply of electricity.
Wärtsilä’s Smart Power Generation technology is known for its high efficiency and reliability, making it an ideal choice for power plants seeking to enhance their operational flexibility and resilience. The technology is also environmentally friendly, with low emissions and fuel consumption rates, helping to reduce the plant’s overall carbon footprint.
“We are proud to have been selected to provide our Smart Power Generation technology for this important project in Kentucky,” said Jay Guarnera, Vice President of Sales for Wärtsilä Energy. “Our technology will help to ensure that the power plant can effectively balance the grid and provide reliable electricity to customers in the region.”
The project is expected to be completed by the end of 2023, with Wärtsilä providing ongoing support and maintenance services to ensure the plant operates at peak performance. This collaboration highlights Wärtsilä’s commitment to providing innovative solutions that help to build a more sustainable and resilient energy future.
