SIPOS Aktorik has won a contract to supply around 1,000 electric actuators to the Kozienice 11coal-fired power plant which will extend Poland’s power generation capability and provide a dependable electricity supply for the country’s expanding economy. Working with consortium partner Polimex-Mostostal S.A., Mitsubishi Hitachi Power System Europe GmbH (MHPSE) signed a contract with Polish energy supplier ENEA Wytwarzanie for plant construction.
The Kozienice 11 plant is planned to commence commercial operation in 2017: the unit will operate within an existing power plant complex. Designed to be highly economical with fuel and reduce CO2 emissions, the plant will have a 1,075 gross megawatt output.
The landmark project, which has been hailed one of the most modern power stations of its kind, underscores SIPOS’ reputation as a preferred supplier of actuation technology to the power sector. Factors key to SIPOS securing the contract were the company’s advanced actuation technology that includes variable speed capability and local support by AUMA Polska for all service requirements including installation, maintenance and revisions.
