Wärtsilä upgrade project will increase power output and availability for Nevada Gold Mines
Wärtsilä Corporation, Trade press release, 3 October 2022 at 2:00 PM EESTThe technology group Wärtsilä will upgrade the performance of a captive power plant supplying electricity to a Nevada Gold Mines mining operation in the USA. The customised lifecycle upgrade is estimated to increase the facility’s power output on each generating set by 8%, support operational reliability, and ensure its availability during peak periods. Furthermore, it will avoid de-rating in almost all situations caused by the severe ambient conditions at the plant’s high-altitude location in the hot Nevada desert.
