The technology group Wärtsilä expands its co-operation with the Argentinian energy company Pampa Energia S.A. Under the recently signed operation and maintenance (O&M) agreement, Wärtsilä takes responsibility for the operation of Pampa Energia’s Smart Power Generation plant Central Termica Ingeniero White, located in Bahia Blanca, Argentina. During the ten-year contract period, Wärtsilä will ensure the optimal performance of the multi-fuel plant by means of continuously monitoring and addressing plant operation and maintenance needs. The operation and maintenance agreement was signed in October 2017.
The scope of the new O&M ensures optimal plant availability and reliability levels, extended equipment lifecycle, as well as reduced operational costs in a safe, reliable, and environmentally sound way.
Wärtsilä provides performance guarantees related to power plant availability as well as to fuel and lube oil consumption, thus supporting the competitiveness and business targets of Pampa Energia S.A.
These targets are supported by Wärtsilä’s remote monitoring services, which provide real-time performance data on the power plant’s equipment. Maintenance decisions are supported by sophisticated data analytics. The efficient operation of Pampa Energia’s power plant involves skilled and trained personnel on site to ensure the planned operational profile of the power plant.
