    Recently, Wärtsilä Technology Group began on-site work
    for a new 378 MW power plant for an EPC contract in El Salvador.
    The plant, which was ordered, will be the largest and most efficient power plant in El Salvador and one of
    the first in Central America to use liquefied natural gas for power generation.
    The unit will supply power
    to the national grid.

    This new terminal is an important addition to El Salvador's energy infrastructure, which has clean, cheap and efficient power generation
    in the country.
    Today, nearly 50% of El Salvador's 1,600 MW of generating capacity is based on petroleum fuels
    .
    Thanks to the high efficiency of the Wärtsilä 50SG engine, the new environmentally friendly Wärtsilä Smart Power Plant will reduce electricity prices
    locally.
    In addition, air quality will be improved as LNG fuels produce 30% less carbon emissions and 99%
    less sulphur dioxide emissions than conventional fuel fuels.

    The plant will operate on 19 Wärtsilä 50SG engines and a combined-cycle steam turbine,?? Net plant efficiency is close to 50%.

    Wärtsilä's DryFlexicycle technology, which consumes zero cooling water, will be used to further improve the sustainability
    of the project.
    Wärtsilä will also provide operations and maintenance services
    .

    Wärtsilä Regional Director for Latin America North and the Caribbean said: "The start of this project is the result of
    many years of work.
    The Wärtsilä plant will bring important benefits to El Salvador by enabling clean, efficient and flexible power generation, complementing and facilitating the increase in
    renewable energy in the system due to its fast-start capability.
