Iberdrola Engineering has been awarded a contract to complete turnkey construction of a CCGT power plant in Berlin-Lichterfelde (Germany) after winning an international tender launched by Vattenfall. The new plant will have total electrical capacity of 300 MW and a thermal capacity of nearly 230 MW, supplying the South western districts of Berlin with electricity and district heating. Construction work is expected to begin in February 2014, while start-up is scheduled for December 2016.
Iberdrola will be responsible for the project’s entire development, including its design, engineering, procurement, construction, assembly and commissioning. The plant will be built in the Southwest of Berlin on the Lichterfelde site and replace a thermal facility that is operating there since 1974.
The construction of a new CCGT plant is an important part of a climate protection agreement, signed by the Senate of Berlin and Vattenfall. In the agreement Vattenfall commits itself to halve its CO2 emissions in Berlin by 2020 (compared to 1990).
