The first concession Colorado covers 16,800 hectares in the region of Antofagasta, 1,000km north of Santiago. The second concession San José I is spread over 74,801 hectares located in the metropolitan area about 50km east of Santiago, whereas the third one Yeguas Muertas, with 74,101 hectares situated between the Metropolitan and the O'Higgins regions, is 70km southeast of Santiago, 20km east of El Teniente mine and 40Km from Rancagua.
With these three new concessions, Enel Green Power confirms its leading position in geothermal development in the Chilean market.
Geotermica del Norte (GDN), a subsidiary of Enel Green Power, is about to begin the construction of the first geothermal plant in South America. It is a 40MW facility named Cerro Pabellón located in the region of Antofagasta. Together with its other subsidiary Empresa Nacional de Geotermia (ENG), Enel Green Power now holds eight geothermal concessions in Chile.

Gazprom commissions Russia’s most powerful CCGT unit at Kirishi SDPS
According to Gazprom, CCGT-800 installed at the Kirishi SDPS is a unique project for Russia. Power generating unit No 6 (commissioned in 1975) was upgraded and two state-of-the-art gas turbines, 279MW each (made by Siemens) with two brand new heat recovery boilers were built over the existing 300MW steam turbine.
It was the first time in the history of the Russian power industry when large-scale efforts had been made to retrofit the existing power generating unit, which allowed to significantly increase its capacity as well as efficiency. The power generating unit efficiency has risen from 38 percent to 55 percent, and specific fuel equivalent consumption lowered almost 32 percent – from 324 g/kWh to 221.5 g/kWh.
The Kirishi SDPS is situated in the Leningrad Oblast, 150 kilometers southeast of Saint Petersburg and the largest heat and power station of the Northwestern United Power System (UPS). The station is a production branch of WGC-2 (Gazprom Energoholding), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Gazprom.

Suzlon, CGN Wind Energy form global strategic alliance
The Suzlon-CGNWE strategic partnership calls for the development of 800MW of domestic and international projects over the next three years. A working team has been set up to explore the most viable projects globally, covering countries such as Brazil, South Africa, India and China.
CGNWE is one of the largest wind power developers in China with installed capacity of around 3,000MW.
Mr Chensui, chairman of CGNWE, said: “We are very happy to partner with Suzlon for the development of wind power projects worldwide. With Suzlon’s experience in the global market and CGNWE’s expertise in wind power, we are confident of building very successful projects to meet the renewable energy needs for these markets effectively.”

Suzlon to equip 332MW Gode Wind I project offshore Germany
The Gode Wind I wind farm is based in the German North Sea, around 35km north of the East Frisian Islands in the Exclusive Economic Zone of Germany. This is the largest-ever offshore project with REpower turbines and one of the world’s biggest open-sea projects with turbines in the multi-megawatt class.
The wind turbines are set to be installed and commissioned at the Gode Wind I site in 2015.
Thorsten Fastenau, vice president offshore at PNE WIND: “Both REpower and PNE WIND have since built up extensive experience in the offshore sector. This is why Gode Wind I is developed to an extent that allowed us to submit the documents for the necessary consent for mains connection to grid operator TenneT following the speedy conclusion of the contract – because in addition to the supply contract agreements regarding the transformer station, the foundations and the wind farm’s internal cabling are already complete.”
