The order,
placed by Kazakhstan Caspian Offshore Industries (KCOI) and booked in the
fourth quarter of 2024, includes six Wärtsilä 46TS-SG gas-fueled large-bore
engines along with mechanical and electrical auxiliary systems. “This will be the first hybrid project of
its type to be implemented in Kazakhstan. The engine power plant is essential
to enable a stable and reliable supply of electricity, and the Wärtsilä engines
will efficiently regulate the frequency and voltage to ensure this reliability
is achieved,” stated Mirko Borghesi, CEO of KCOI.
KCOI, the
main contractor for a major hybrid power project in the Mangystau region, is
developing a facility that will integrate the engine power plant with a 77 MW
wind farm and a 50 MW solar plant. Once completed, the project will deliver
electricity to oil and gas operations in the area. The fast-starting Wärtsilä engines will ensure a stable and reliable
power supply to offset the natural fluctuations of renewable energy generation.
“This is a
major hybrid power project that also supports Kazakhstan to move towards
decarbonised energy production and Wärtsilä is proud to be a participating
partner,” commented Kenneth Engblom, Vice President of Africa and Europe at
Wärtsilä Energy. “In order for widescale integration of power from
renewable sources, grid balancing capabilities are necessary, and the Wärtsilä
engines are ideally suited to provide this.”
In addition, the
Wärtsilä equipment is set to be delivered by late 2025, with the project slated
to become fully operational by mid-2026.
