March 8 (SeeNews) - Gazprom said it has launched the construction of a 200 MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant in Serbia's Pancevo - the first of its kind in the Balkan country.
The project will be implemented jointly by Gazprom's subsidiary Gazprom Energoholding and Serbian oil and gas group NIS [BEL:NIIS], the Russian company said in a statement on Thursday.
The commissioning of the power plant is planned for 2020.
The heat generated by the TPP will serve the needs of the NIS's Pancevo oil refinery, while the electricity output will be sold both in Serbia and abroad, Gazprom said.
In October 2017, China's Shanghai Electric Group won a tender for turnkey construction of the TPP’s combined cycle power unit. The core equipment of the Pancevo TPP will include two Ansaldo Energia gas turbines and one steam turbine.
