Large EPC Power Projects in Latin America:<br />

the Chile Experience<br />

The Group’s presence in Latin America dates back to the early<br />

1970s and the formation of Maire Engineering do Brasil.<br />

Leveraging on its track record in power plants and large<br />

petrochemical projects, Maire <strong>Tecnimont</strong> has been progressively<br />

asserting its role as one of the region’s leading providers in power<br />

generation. A <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led consortium is building two 370 MW<br />

coal-fired power stations in the Puerto Coronel area of Chile,<br />

approximately 500 km south of the capital Santiago. The<br />

contracts, with Colbun SA (Matte group) and Endesa Chile, have a<br />

total value of more than US$1,080 million. <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is<br />

about 75%. In both projects <strong>Tecnimont</strong> is in charge of the design,<br />

supply, assembly and commissioning of the whole plant,<br />

including the steam turbines supplied by General Electric and the<br />

boilers supplied by the Slovak partner SES. The two projects<br />

should be completed by the end of 2010 or early 2011. They are<br />

extremely important for Chile and will make a major contribution<br />

to alleviating the electricity shortages that plunge the country into<br />

a serious crisis every year.<br />

2008 was a very successful year for <strong>Tecnimont</strong> in Brazil. In January,<br />

the Company was awarded mega-contracts worth approximately<br />

¤1.1 billion for the construction of two power stations with a<br />

combined capacity of 1,080 MW in the northeast of the country. They<br />

will be built on a lump-sum turnkey basis. At the time of the award,<br />

<strong>Tecnimont</strong> owned 65% of the special-purpose company, Mabe<br />

Construção e Administração de Projetos Ltda (MABE), set up with<br />

other Brazilian partners to handle the contracts. Its share in MABE<br />

has subsequently increased to 73.5%.<br />

The first project is for a 360 MW coal-fired power station to be built<br />

near the port of Itaqui, in the state of Maranhao. The client is UTE<br />

Porto do Itaqui Geração de Energia SA, a company owned by MPX<br />

(EBX group), a major Brazilian private player operating mainly in the<br />

mining sector. The value of the multicurrency contract was about<br />

¤380 million at the time of award. The power station will be in<br />

operation in 44 months.<br />

The second project is for a coal-fired power station with a capacity<br />

of 720 MW in two lines, to be built near the port of Pecem, in Cearà<br />

state. The client is Porto do Pecem Geração de Energia SA, equally<br />

owned by MPX and by the Portuguese national utility EDP through<br />

its subsidiary, Energias do Brasil. The value of the multicurrency<br />

contract at the time of award was about ¤700 million. The power<br />

station will be in operation in 47 months.<br />

Both plants will be designed to comply with stringent environmental standards, higher than required by<br />

current Brazilian regulations.<br />

Several months later, in October 2008, <strong>Tecnimont</strong> signed a further contract with MPX Pecem II Geração<br />

de Energia SA, a company wholly owned by MPX, for the provision of EPC services for a third coal-fired<br />

365 MW line at Pecém. Work on Pecém II will be integrated with the earlier Pecém and Itaqui projects and<br />

will therefore benefit from significant time, cost and risk management optimization. The project value at<br />

the time of award was about ¤350 million.<br />

The <strong>Tecnimont</strong>-led consortium MABE, as EPC contractor on the two projects, has also signed contracts<br />

to supply flue gas desulphurization (FGD) and dedusting systems to the Pecem and Itaqui power stations.<br />

One FGD system will be installed at Itaqui and two more at Pecem. Komline-Sanderson of the US will<br />

provide semi-dry technology for FGD. Enfil SA, Brazil, will provide the baghouse filters for the dedusting<br />

system. The total value of the contracts is ¤80 million, of which <strong>Tecnimont</strong>’s share is around ¤59 million.<br />
