24 January 2006 - Foster Wheeler has been authorized by the Spanish utility Endesa to proceed with an upgrade of the second of four steam generating units at Endesa's As Pontes power plant at La Coruna, Spain.

The four boilers at the As Pontes plant, rated at 350 MW each, were originally supplied by Foster Wheeler. They were designed to fire local brown coal, and were commissioned between 1976 and 1979. Foster Wheeler modified the units between 1993 and 1996 to fire up to 50 per cent imported coal.

Under a contract signed with Endesa in 2003, Foster Wheeler and its manufacturing and construction partner, are carrying out a further phased upgrade of all four boilers to burn 100 per cent low sulphur imported coal. Upgrade of the first unit began in 2005 and the unit is now in commercial operation. Authorization to proceed has now been given by Endesa for the upgrade of the second unit.
