14 July 2009. Following on from its recent success with the award of the Owen Springs Power Station contract, MAN Diesel Australia has secured the supply and installation of a third 12V51/60 Dual-Fuel Generator Set for the project. The addition of the third set will take the total generation capacity of the Owen Springs plant from 22MW up to 33MW. The plant which is due for completion in late 2010 will be the first stationary power station based on MAN Diesel’s flagship 51/60DF Dual-Fuel engine.
When operational, the Owen Springs Power Station will provide high-efficiency power with low emissions to Alice Springs and surrounding regions.
