Power generation stability

One of the key strengths of our Sarroch site is the reliability of the IGCC unit as a provider of power and other utilities like steam and hydrogen. After the start-up and consolidation phase of the operations in 2001 – 2002, the service factor has stabilised at over 90%, an excellent performance for this type of plants. In this regard, 2008 has been broadly in line with 2007, and only slightly lower than the record values achieved in 2006, due to the scheduled maintenance activities carried out in 2008 on two of the gasification trains and their respective gas turbines.
