24 Wärtsilä 50SG engines delivering an output of 429 MW for new data center.
Wärtsilä has similarly captured significant market share in the data center segment. The company announced an order for 24 Wärtsilä 50SG engines (Figure 1) delivering 429 MW of output for an American power plant serving a data center, the equipment destined for an investor-owned utility.
In a separate Texas project, Wärtsilä will deliver generating sets for a 123-MW power plant in Odessa, which will become the largest Wärtsilä 31 installation in the world when commissioned. The company will operate and maintain the facility under a 10-year agreement.
The Wärtsilä 31SG power-optimized engine reaches full output in two and a half minutes, a characteristic the company describes as ideal for systems where renewables are integrated. The Kentucky Municipal Energy Agency has selected four Wärtsilä 50SG engines for its 75-MW Energy Center I facility, which will play an important role in enabling increased levels of renewable energy from solar and wind to be integrated into the system while providing reliable electricity supply within minutes when needed.
