PRODUCT
Titan 130 Mobile Power Units
CUSTOMER VALUE
15 MW Blocks of Stable and Reliable Power
In 2010, a severe drought in Venezuela threatened to severely curtail the production of hydroelectric power, which normally provides 65% of the country's electricity. The need for replacement power was intimidating: nearly a gigawatt of continuous duty power, preferably in distributable 45 MW blocks. Corpoelec, a subsidiary of Venezuela's national oil company, turned to Solar Turbines and their 15 MW gas turbine Titan™ 130 Mobile Power Unit (MPU). Solar was able to ship the units in the required time and satisfy the customer's needs for having emergency power placed and available should they need it.
