BAKU, Azerbaijan, August 28. The universal dry
cargo ship Uzeyir Hajibeyli, which is on the balance sheet of
Azerbaijan Caspian shipping Company CJSC (ASCO), has carried out
transportation of the next set of turbines and generators required
for the new power plant“Azerbaijan TPP” under construction in
Mingachevir, Trend reports via ASCO.
This is the second raid during the summer. The dry cargo shipped
from the port of“Haydarpasha” in Türkiye to the port of“Garadagh”
(Azerbaijan) last month delivered a turbine and a generator
weighing more than 300 tons each.
The CJSC reminded that last year ASCO vessel was also involved
in the delivery of gas turbines and generators manufactured by
Italian company Ansaldo Energia to Azerbaijan for the new thermal
power plant in Mingachevir.
Meanwhile, the foundation of a new thermal power plant (TPP)
with a capacity of 1,280 megawatts was laid in Mingachevir in
February 2023 (on the territory of the Azerbaijan TPP - the largest
in the South Caucasus).
Azerenergy signed contracts with Ansaldo Energia last year
regarding the construction, delivery, and installation of gas
turbines and generators produced by this Italian company at the new
station in Mingachevir.
Furthermore, Azerenergy earlier noted that as a result of the
connection of the new power plant with a capacity of 1,280
megawatts and the existing seventh and eighth units of TPP
Azerbaijan, the total capacity of the power facility in Mingachevir
will amount to 1,880 megawatts.
The contract with Ansaldo Energia will allow increasing the
efficiency of the thermal power plant from 18 to 56 percent.
The gas utilized in the gas turbines of the new 1,280-megawatt
power plant will turn water into steam through utilization and will
allow energy to be generated without the use of additional gas in
the steam turbines of Units 7th and 8th of the Azerbaijan Thermal
Power Plant.
The connection will save 800 million cubic meters of gas per
year.
