"We are honoured to serve as a partner to Libya as it rebuilds and develops its new economy," said Chief Executive Officer John Campion.
"This project is ground breaking for the country in terms of both scale and scope. The Libya contract, together with our two recent wins totalling 300MW in Uruguay, aligns with APR Energy's strategy to focus on large-scale power projects. For such projects, we strongly believe that mobile dual-fuel turbines are the best fit and the customer technology of choice."
