Our thermal power generation experience spans the complete range of skills needed to take a project from concept to commissioning. This includes feasibility and scoping studies, detailed design, plant specification and tender review, contract negotiations, project management and involvement in plant enhancement studies during the operations phase.
We have also used our considerable technical expertise to great effect as the lenders’ engineer on a large number of due diligence assignments during the project finance process for major power plant projects all over the world. We have successfully supported a variety of investors during challenging asset acquisitions.
Mott MacDonald has first hand experience of:
- Gas-fired boilers with power generation
- Open-cycle gas turbines using gas fuels
- Combined-cycle gas turbines using both gas and liquid fuels
- Repowering of existing coal- and oil-fired power plants
These are discussed separately in associated pages.
