2 August 2023A consortium comprising Spain’s Tecnicas Reunidas (TRE.MC) and Italy’s Ansaldo Energia is set to develop a hydrogen-ready combined cycle power plant in Germany for utility RWE (RWEG.DE), the Spanish engineering firm said on Monday.
The plant will use Ansaldo Energia’s GT36 turbine, capable of generating electricity with up to 50% hydrogen mixed with natural gas and with the potential to upgrade to 100% hydrogen, Tecnicas Reunidas added in a statement.
The project is part of RWE’s renovation plan to replace coal-fired plants with facilities that provide more efficient and cleaner electricity generation.
The facility, which is set to have a capacity of 800 megawatts, will be built on the existing RWE site of Weisweiler, near the city of Cologne, Tecnicas Reunidas said.
