Finnish energy technology firm Wartsila has been awarded a more than E100 million contract to supply and install a 160MW power plant in Pakistan by Attock Gen. The plant will be located at the Attock Refinery site near Rawalpindi.
Wartsila's subsidiary in Pakistan will carry out the local construction, which accounts for approximately E15 million of the total project value. The development will take 15 months to complete and commercial operations are expected to commence during Q3 2008. Wartsila is also negotiating a contract for operation and maintenance of the plant.

"This latest order will mean that we have supplied power plants which produce more than 1,000MW of electricity to Pakistan. Our strong local presence and successful track record in Pakistan combined with efficiency and flexibility of our solution were amongst the reasons we were awarded this contract," said Christoph Vitzthum, group vice president of Wartsila power plants.
"This new power plant will enable smooth refinery operations as sale of heavy fuel will be ensured�We also wanted the highest possible power plant efficiency during a lifetime cycle of 25 years, which we believe Wartsila's combined-cycle concept will be able to provide," added Adil Khattak, CEO of Attock Gen.
