#HotOffThePress - We are pleased to announce a three-year Operations & Maintenance (O&M) agreement with Eramine Sudamérica S.A. to cover the power plant supplying electricity to the company’s lithium mine located on the Centenario Ratones salt flat in Salta, Argentina. The remote location of the mine does not allow connection to the grid, and the facility relies on the power plant to supply all its electricity. Our deep experience in O&M agreements will guarantee operational reliability, which is essential to maintaining production schedules. “We are providing Eramine high energy availability to ensure continuous mine production throughout the year”, comments our Energy Business Director, AMER, Region South at Wärtsilä Energy, Jorge Alcaide. The power plant is newly built and has a capacity of 28 MW. Three Wärtsilä 34SG engines will run on natural gas to deliver 20 MW of power to the mine, and one engine will be on standby mode.

We have just published our Interim Report for January - March 2024. “Wärtsilä continued to make good progress during the first quarter of 2024. Our profitability improved, cash flow from operations increased and our order book ended up at a new all-time high driven by a continued strong order intake. We also made good progress in services, with service net sales growing by double-digits in both Marine and Energy." This year is special for us as it marks our 190th anniversary. Our two centuries have been characterised by continually transforming ourselves and the industries we have operated in, supported by the innovative spirit of our people. The transformation we are driving today towards carbon-neutral shipping and a 100% renewable energy future is probably the most critical we have faced in our long history, as it is vital for ensuring the sustainable societies of the future.
