      JACKSONVILLE, Florida, 12 de dezembro de 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- A APR Energy, líder mundial em soluções de energia elétrica fast-track (de aplicação rápida), anunciou hoje que assinou um contrato de 12 meses com a Water and Power Authority (WAPA) das Ilhas Virgens dos EUA para fornecer geração de energia elétrica de 25MW, usando gás liquefeito de petróleo (GLP). O projeto prevê a utilização de uma turbina a gás móvel TM2500+ da GE retroajustada, a primeira a ser operada comercialmente com GLP -- um marco significativo que irá proporcionar aos clientes acesso a uma alternativa mais barata e de combustão mais limpa a outros combustíveis derivados de petróleo convencionais.

      APR Energy's new 25MW power plant for the U.S. Virgin Islands Water and Power Authority will be the world's first in commercial operation to use a TM2500+ mobile gas turbine retrofitted to run on liquid petroleum gas - enabling WAPA to leverage the cost and environmental advantages of LPG-fired generation compared with the diesel-reciprocating engines that are common in the Caribbean.

      A concessão desse projeto é a última em uma sequência de vitórias empresariais da APR Energy, desde que foi privatizada no início do ano, levando o total de novas concessões, extensões e expansões em 2016 para mais de 1GW. O projeto também é a sexta concessão obtida pela empresa no último ano, usando turbinas a gás móveis.

      "Esse projeto único irá possibilitar às Ilhas Virgens dos EUA alavancar seu investimento significativo em infraestrutura de GLP, reduzindo consideravelmente o custo e o impacto ambiental da geração de energia", disse o presidente executivo da APR Energy John Campion. "Os especialistas preveem um aumento de 15% no preço do diesel nos próximos dois anos, enquanto os preços do GLP devem permanecer estáveis. O uso de GLP deverá garantir à WAPA economia significativas, em comparação com máquinas de movimento alternativo movidas a diesel, que são comuns no Caribe".

      "A mudança para GLP de menor custo e combustão mais limpa, como a principal fonte de combustível na geração de eletricidade nas Ilhas Virgens, é o maior projeto de capital específico que WAPA fez em sua história recente", disse o diretor executivo e CEO da WAPA Julio Rhymer, Sr. "Estamos muito satisfeitos por termos o potencial de oferecer tarifas mais baixas a nossos clientes e também pelo contrato que assinamos hoje com a APR Energy, que passa a fazer parte das soluções energéticas para as Ilhas Virgens. Há anos que a WAPA mantém um relacionamento positivo com a APR Energy e estamos satisfeitos por trabalhar com ela no esforço para nos tornarmos a primeira usina elétrica do mundo a colocar a turbina TM2500+, movida a GLP, em operação comercial".

      Campion espera que esse projeto irá servir de modelo para outras usinas que poderão se beneficiar do GLP como uma fonte alternativa e mais barata de combustível. "O interesse no GLP está crescendo em muitos mercados pelo mundo, especialmente no Caribe e em partes da África e da Ásia, onde a disponibilidade de combustível se expandiu significativamente nos últimos anos", disse Campion. "A turbina TM2500+ é uma das poucas tecnologias de fast-track capaz de operar com GLP e ela oferece aos clientes a flexibilidade adicional de poder alternar rapidamente e sem problemas entre combustíveis, conforme estiverem os preços e a disponibilidade".

      O novo projeto suplementa a atual usina de 25MW com turbina movida a diesel, instalada em 2012 para a WAPA, levando a geração total de energia na localidade para 50MW.
