The expansion project at Central Térmica Ezeiza represents a substantial investment exceeding $220 million. It involved the addition of a new 50 MW Siemens SGT-800 gas turbine and two Siemens SST-400 steam turbines. This expansion not only enhanced the plant's power generation capacity but also provided employment opportunities for over 700 workers, demonstrating a significant economic impact on the local community.
With the plant’s capacity now doubled to 300 MW, it can generate an additional 150 MW of electricity, sufficient to power more than 200,000 homes. This increase in capacity plays a crucial role in stabilizing the local power supply and supporting Argentina's growing energy needs.
Central Térmica Ezeiza was initially inaugurated in 2017 after 11 months of construction work with an investment of $160 million. The first phase included the installation of two 50 MW Siemens SGT-800 turbines, followed by the addition of a third turbine of the same capacity in a subsequent phase. This phased development has not only scaled the plant's capacity but also its efficiency and operational scope.
As Argentina focuses on scaling up its energy infrastructure, projects like the expansion of Central Térmica Ezeiza are vital. They not only meet immediate electricity demands but also contribute to sustainable energy practices by improving efficiency and reducing potential environmental impacts.
The successful expansion of Central Térmica Ezeiza marks a pivotal development in Argentina's energy sector. By doubling its capacity, the plant ensures a reliable energy supply to a significant portion of the population, underscoring Grupo Albanesi's commitment to powering Argentina's future. This project is a testament to the potential of strategic investments in enhancing the nation's energy infrastructure while supporting economic growth and sustainability.
