Wartsila will supply its first ever gas-fired power plant to China. The company February 20 said it will supply a 30-MW combined heat and power (CHP) plant to China Gezhouba Group Cooperation UN Power.

“CHP plants are gaining foothold in the Chinese market, supported by the need for a reliable heat and power supply as the population increases,” Wartsila said. The new Guangdong Huadian Panyu Wanbo CBD Distributed Energy Project power plant will be located in Guangzhou. It will generate electricity that will be fed into the national grid.

Wartsila’s installed capacity of CHP plants is around 11 GW. The company’s total installed power generation capacity is over 63 GW in 176 countries.
