Will Follow On May 4 ENDESA (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :ELE ELE equine leukoencephalomalacia. ) has announced that as part of the testing process, its Besos (BARCELONA) 400MW combined cycle power plant will initiate its connection to the grid next week. Endesa's San Roque (Cadiz) combined cycle power plant, will follow on May 4. Once testing is completed, both plants will start commercial operations. Both projects total investment amounted approximately Euro 360 million. This investment falls within the Strategic Plan 2002-2006 issued in February with a total investment of Euro 13 billion, including maintenance investments for Euro 6.1 billion and expansion investments amounting to Euro 6.9 billion. Of the total amount allocated to expansion, Euro 2.9 billion will be invested in the Spanish electricity business. Both plants are practically identical in its basic design. They will both use natural gas as main fuel and fuel oil as back up. Advanced technologies will allow them to reduce significantly their environmental impact, to obtain a high energetic performance -because of the gas turbines with a sequential combustion chamber- and to perform with an adequate operational flexibility. Its main difference is that San Roque Power Plant includes a closed circuit refrigeration refrigeration, process for drawing heat from substances to lower their temperature, often for purposes of preservation. Refrigeration in its modern, portable form also depends on insulating materials that are thin yet effective. system with forced shot refrigeration towers, while Besos Power Plant includes a seawater seawater Water that makes up the oceans and seas.
