19 October 2006 -- Wärtsilä has been selected to deliver equipment for a 115.6 MW gas-fired power plant to a subsidiary of Cogentrix Energy, Inc., an independent power producer in the United States. The plant, Plains End II, will be located in Arvada, Colorado near Denver and is expected to enter commercial operation in 2008.

Cogentrix also owns Plains End, a 113 MWe power plant also equipped with Wärtsilä gas engines and located adjacent to the site for the Plains End II plant. Plains End has been in commercial operation since 2002, delivering energy, capacity and ancillary services to Xcel Energy through a long term Power Purchase Agreement.

Wärtsilä will deliver 14 Wärtsilä 20V34SG engines on an equipment supply basis for the Plains End II power plant. These engines will use natural gas as their only fuel source. The simple cycle plant will provide capacity, energy and black start capabilities to the local grid.
