PGE SAPGE power completes modernisation of Debe water power plant
The modernisation of Debe hydroelectric power station owned by listed power group PGE's renewables unit PGE Energia Odnawialna has been completed after five years of work, PGE said in a press release. According to the assumptions, the annual electricity production of the power plant will be 109.5 GWh.
The modernisation took 5 years and involved the replacement of all 4 hydrosets, i.e. turbines and generators, together with the technological part. The modernisation will extend the life of the power plant by 40 years.
PGE reported that according to the plan, the power plant's annual electricity production will be 109.5 GWh, which in turn will allow it to power around 36,500 households.
The Debe water power plant is a run-of-river power plant equipped with 4 hydropower units with Kaplan turbines, each with a rated capacity of 5 MW. The facility was built between 1957 and 1963, with modernisation taking place between 2019 and 2024.
The PGE Group's unit PGE Energia Odnawialna owns 21 wind farms, 29 hydroelectric power plants, four pumped storage power plants and 43 photovoltaic farms. The total installed capacity of all facilities is approximately 2612 MW.
