APR Energy Announces Operation of Turbine Power Project in Uruguay
MONTEVIDEO, Uruguay, July 23, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- APR Energy is pleased announce the recent commercial operation of its 100MW temporary power generation project in Uruguay. The modular turbine plant will provide supplementary power to a previously existing site in Punta del Tigre, approximately 40 kilometers northwest of the capital city, Montevideo.
"This recent installation of dual-fuel turbines within Uruguay is a great example of how APR can deploy fast-track, environmentally friendly power systems that are an ideal solution for the Americas," said APR Energy President and Chief Operating Officer, Laurence Anderson. "Gas turbines have been utilized in Uruguay on a larger scale for some time and the region understands the balance of speed of delivery and high environmental standards that these units can provide."
The APR power solution was requested by its customer in Uruguay to combat an urgent power shortfall in the region. APR Energy responded by providing expedited logistics and installation for the project, with the primary generation equipment being airfreighted into the country within two days of contract signature.
