Burmeister & Wain Scandinavian Contractor A/S (BWSC) fully owned by Mitsui Engineering & Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in consortium with a German engine manufacturer, MAN Diesel and Turbo SE obtained 2 large orders of diesel power plant from Lebanese Minister of Energy and Water on full turnkey basis.　BWSC takes care of engineering, procurement of auxiliaries, erection, civil & construction and test & commissioning.

The plants will be built at Zouk and Jiyeh close to Beirut with the electricity outputs of 194MW and 78MW respectively. The power plants consist of medium speed diesel engines fueled by heavy fuel oil with steam turbine generators. Consequently, they achieved 48% of electrical efficiency. They can be converted into gas fueled solution when LNG is available in the future.

Further, BWSC arranged the finance of HSBC guaranteed by Denmark’s Export Credit Agency called EKF.

Despite of the tense situation of Syria, the country is expected to continuously grow at high rate. Rapid development requires improvement of infrastructures such as power supply. Those plants are planned to deliver in the late of 2014.
