New CHP power plant for Portsmouth Naval Base for Royal Navy operations in 2019
E
dina, the leading supplier, installer and maintenance provider for combined heat and
power (CHP), gas and diesel power generation, has won the contract to deliver the CHP power plant for Portsmouth Naval Base. The base itself is spread over 380 acres, six miles of waterfront and supports approximately 13,000 full-time jobs. The Naval Base is home to almost two-thirds of the Royal Navy's surface fleet, including the Type 45 destroyers, Type 23 frigates, mine counter - measure vessels, the Fishery Protection Squadron and the Queen Elizabeth Class aircraft carriers, reports WIP. Following a competitive tender BAE Systems, who manages Portsmouth Naval Base on behalf of the Royal Navy, awarded Edina the contract to supply and install three MWM manufactured TCG 2032 reciprocating gas engines rated at 4.5MWe each. The CHP plant supports the
site’s growing energy requirements ahead of the arrival of HMS Prince of Wales at the naval base in 2019. Edina is the official UK and
Ireland distributor for MWM gas engines which offer market-leading efficiency, reliability, flexibility and environmental sustainability, providing low lifecycle and high profitability. Fuelled by natural gas, the 13.5MWe CHP plant will generate electricity and heat, reduce carbon emissions and save the Ministry of Defence (MOD) up to £4million per year in energy costs.

By developing this new facility we will be able to recycle energy consumption on the Naval Base as well as deliver a significant cost saving. This is an innovative solution to support the largest warships ever built for the Royal Navy. We continue to work closely with the Royal Navy to deliver long-term energy cost savings to the naval base. This underlines our commitment to support the Ministry of Defence drive to create a more modern and energy-efficient naval base for the 21st century.” - Chris Courtaux, BAE Systems
