GE Gas Power ( GE ) has secured an order from Energa SA , is the electricity suppliers in Poland , part of ORLEN Group , a major player in the energy industry in Poland , for a GE 9HA . 02 turnkey combined cycle power plant project for Ostroleka C power plant , in north-east Poland . This project will play a strategic role in supporting the acceleration of renewable energy growth by enhancing the reliability and stability of the energy grid , challenged by grid limitations in the northeastern part of the National Power System . The project marks also GE ’ s second H-Class gas turbine order in Poland after Dolna Odra , currently under |
construction . The order was booked in the first quarter of 2022 . Located in the City of Ostroleka , the |
new plant will be powered by a GE 9HA . 02 gas turbine , an STF-D650 steam turbine , a W88 generator , |
a Heat Recovery Steam Generator ( HRSG ), and GE ’ s integrated Mark VIe Distributed Control System ( DCS ). GE 9HA . 02 gas turbine , with the currently quickest ramp rate in the industry - 88MW per minute ( 1xCC 9HA . 02 Plant ) – will enable Energa to dispatch power quickly in response to grid fluctuations . GE ’ s Mark VIe control systems will help Energa improve asset visibility , reliability , and availability while reducing operating and maintenance costs . As part of the agreement , GE will provide full engineering , procurement , and construction ( EPC ) of this combined cycle power plant . |
Aker Horizons entered into an agreement with Aker Mainstream Renewables , a holding company co-owned by Aker Horizons , Mitsui & Co ., Ltd ., and Irish minority shareholders , to integrate Aker Offshore Wind into the Mainstream group .

On completion of the transaction , Aker Horizons ’ ownership in Mainstream will be approximately 58.6 %. “ The strong industrial logic for combining Aker Offshore Wind and Mainstream includes complementary footprint and capabilities , increased scale , and improved access to financing ,” said Mary Quaney , Chief Executive Officer of Mainstream . “ Combining Aker Offshore |
Wind ’ s strong technical and engineering capabilities , and early mover position in floating offshore wind , with Mainstream ’ s proven project development methodology , execution track record , and global presence unlocks new opportunities worldwide .” “ The consolidation of Aker Horizons ’ interests in renewable energy will accelerate Mainstream ’ s transformation into a global renewable energy major with leading floating and fixed offshore wind capabilities ,” said Kristian Røkke , Chief Executive Officer of Aker Horizons and Chairman of Mainstream . “ Accelerating the deployment of renewable energy including deep-water offshore wind is essential to reaching Net Zero in |
2050 . According to IEA estimates , annual additions of solar PV and wind power in excess of 1,000 gigawatts are required by 2030 . Mainstream |
is Aker Horizons ’ platform to drive the transition toward a clean energy sector , with ongoing projects on five continents .” |
