The work consists of an expansion of the electric power generation capacity of the current generation plant located within the Cerro Dragón field, made up of 2 gas turbogenerators of 40 MW each. The expansion consists of 2 stages: • Stage 1: Installation of 2 turbogenerators with gas fuel, mobile aero-derivative turbines of 20 MW each. This stage lasts for 6 months. • Stage 2: It is the central stage consisting of closing the combined cycle by adding heat recovery boilers to generate steam in an 80 MW turbine, taking the installed power of the current plant from 80 to 160 MW. The work is carried out according to the “turnkey” modality, which includes engineering, supplies, civil and electromechanical works, assembly, commissioning and start-up. The duration of this stage is 21 months once Stage 1 is completed. The work is carried out on a construction site of approx. 800 x 375 m, with a maximum installation height of 60 m.
