The role
If you want to transform the future of energy, we are looking for a Operations Professional to join our Operations team in Spain-Arrecife-Carretera Los Mármoles s/n!
The Punta Grande Thermal Power Plant is the main power generation facility on the island of Lanzarote. It is a strategic facility within the Canary Islands' island electrical system, which is characterized by being isolated and not interconnected with the mainland system. The plant is owned and operated by Unión Eléctrica de Canarias Generación. It has an approximate installed capacity of 174.5 MW, composed of: 11 Diesel units (fuel oil and gas oil), 2 Gas turbines (gas oil), and Auxiliary Equipment.
The purpose of the Punta Grande TP is:
1. To guarantee the electricity supply on the island of Lanzarote (Demand/production data end of year 2025), which is especially relevant in an isolated electrical system.
2. It provides stability to the electrical system by performing frequency and voltage regulation. The composition of its units (Diesel and gas) allows for reaction with rapid adjustments to demand variations.
3. Support for the integration of renewable energies into the island electrical system, whose penetration is variable and intermittent. The thermal generation produced at the plant allows for the compensation of sudden drops in renewable generation, maintaining system security and guaranteeing the electricity supply. Specifically in the Maintenance area, intense preventive and corrective maintenance activity and planned inspections are carried out at the plant. Maintenance is a necessary activity of special relevance at this plant due to the age of the installed units.
The contribution of the Punta Grande TP to the company can be detailed from several perspectives:
