PÖYRY PLC Press release 19 December 2012
Pöyry's Energy business group has been awarded an owner's engineering services
assignment by UTE, Uruguay's leading government owned power utility. The
consultancy services relate to a new combined cycle power plant called "Punta
del Tigre B" that will be erected in Uruguay. The contract includes a complete
design review of the EPC contractor documentation.
The overall value of the assignment for Pöyry is approximately EUR 1.9 million
and it will be booked in the fourth quarter order stock for 2012. The project
will start in February 2013 and will be completed by the end of 2016.
In the public tendering process, Pöyry was selected as the winner out of seven
bidders because of its technical excellence and competitive proposal that met
the client's expectations. The
assignment strengthens Pöyry's position in the
Latin America energy sector.
"The project is yet further evidence of Pöyry's strong global competence in both
new and refurbished power plants which are fit for the future," says Philipp
Elkuch, Senior Vice President, Energy business group.
