The latest is hurricane-ravaged <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=R4I_6h70DZk\" rel=\"nofollow\">Puerto Rico<\/a>, where APR Energy has commissioned two mobile gas turbines and connected them to the local power grid just 15 days after its equipment arrived on site. <\/p>\n<p>Photo &#8211; <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/593850\/APR_Energy_Puerto_Rico_plant.jpg\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/mma.prnewswire.com\/media\/593850\/APR_Energy_Puerto_Rico_plant.jpg<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>The fast-track solution features two new GE TM2500 Gen 8 mobile gas turbines, which will help to restore power in the <span class=\"xn-location\">San Juan<\/span> area and stabilize the power grid, reducing the risk of outages. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We are honored to be able to help the people of <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> at this extremely difficult time. Our company has provided emergency power after disasters such as the earthquake and tsunami that devastated <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aprenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Japan-Case-Study_APR-Energy.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">Japan<\/a> in 2012, and we know how critical it is to restore electricity as quickly as possible,&#8221; said APR Energy Chairman <span class=\"xn-person\">John Campion<\/span>. &#8220;I am extremely proud of our team for getting this plant up and running in just 15 days, one of the fastest installations ever for the TM2500.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>On <span class=\"xn-chron\">October 13<\/span> \u2013 the day after the contract was signed with U.S. Army Corps of Engineers contractor Weston Solutions \u2013 APR Energy&#8217;s turbines arrived at the port of <span class=\"xn-location\">San Juan<\/span>. The following day, they were transported to the Palo Seco power plant for installation. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;APR Energy is committed to helping <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> for as long as necessary, and we stand ready to provide additional generating capacity and grid stability support as requested,&#8221; Campion said. <\/p>\n<p>The <span class=\"xn-location\">Puerto Rico<\/span> project uses the newest generation of GE&#8217;s turbine technology found in jet aircraft engines. The <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.aprenergy.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/02\/Mobile-Gas-Turbine-Solutions.pdf\" rel=\"nofollow\">fuel-flexible turbines<\/a> offer a higher power density and lower emissions than competing solutions using diesel reciprocating engines, as well as the ability to switch from diesel to natural gas if necessary. <\/p>\n<p>As the world&#8217;s leading provider of mobile turbine power, APR Energy has used the technology to generate electricity on other <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> islands including <span class=\"xn-location\">Martinique<\/span> and St. Thomas in the <span class=\"xn-location\">U.S. Virgin Islands<\/span>. On St. Thomas, where the company has operated since 2012, its highly reliable TM2500 turbines continued to provide electricity to island residents while much of the power generation in other parts of the <span class=\"xn-location\">Caribbean<\/span> was knocked out following Hurricane Irma in early September and Maria two weeks later.<\/p>\n<p>More than 200 mobile and trailer-mounted <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.gepower.com\/gas\/gas-turbines\/tm2500\" rel=\"nofollow\">TM2500s<\/a> have been deployed globally and in some of the most extreme conditions on Earth, including the deserts of <span class=\"xn-location\">Africa<\/span> and remote communities in <span class=\"xn-location\">Asia<\/span>. Based on GE&#8217;s proven LM2500 product family with over 90 million operational hours of experience, the TM2500 can be transported via land, sea or air and can be commissioned in days. It can ramp up to full power within minutes to support grid security during periods of high demand, and the latest TM2500 unit can generate more than 35MW of power using gas and\/or distillate liquid fuels for greater flexibility.<\/p>\n<p><b>About APR Energy<br \/><\/b>APR Energy is the world&#8217;s leading provider of fast-track mobile turbine power, and has installed over 4,200MW of power capacity across more than 30 countries.
