Atlantic Energy and Infrastructure actively participates in developing conventional power-generating projects, specifically gas-fired power facilities, including gas turbines and gas reciprocating engine power-generating plants.

Given their high power output, efficiency, and flexibility, gas-fired power plants are still pivotal in the power-generating supply cycle. Therefore, demand for gas-fired power plants, particularly gas turbines, is rising, making them a valuable energy asset.

Gas-fired power plants support energy transition and decarbonization. Due to the lower amount of natural gas pollutants compared to other hydrocarbons, such as coal and mazut, gas-fired power plants are satisfactory alternatives to other power plants powered by the said highly polluted fossil fuels.

Moreover, these plants are fantastic power backup solutions for supporting and stabilizing the grids, particularly for backing up intermittent renewable energy power plants and associated grids.

AEI’s approach in this area is to contribute to meeting the soaring demand for reliable power and reducing the greenhouse emissions resulting from highly-polluting fire power plants as well as aged and less efficient gas power plants.

To achieve the aforementioned economic and environmental objective, the company employs modern equipment and technologies with the highest possible outputs and efficiency and the lowest possible fuel consumption and emissions. Moreover, it prioritizes developing co-generating plants using the combined heat and power (CHP) units and heat recovery steam generator (HRSG) and employing CCS/ CCUS units to mitigate the amount of CO2 emissions. 

On the other hand, by developing gas-fired desalination power plants, AEI contributes not only to the power supply but also to the water supply. These integrated plants help address challenges, which are a grave concern, predominantly in semi-arid and arid areas.
