Sener Will Take Part in EDF PEI’s New 130 MW Bioenergy Plant in Corsica

The engineering and technology group Sener will participate in the development of the new bioenergy plant of EDF PEI (subsidiary of EDF) in Ricanto (Corsica), with a capacity of 130 MW. Specifically, Sener will be responsible for the detailed engineering of the project for Bonatti, which, together with MAN Energy Solutions, forms the consortium that will build and maintain the future energy generation facilities.

The new Ricanto bioenergy power plant will replace the old Le Vazzio plant at the end of 2027 or beginning of 2028. It will be equipped with 8 MAN 18V51/60 engines and will have a total capacity of 130 MW, supplying the Corsican electricity grid.

Detailed engineering is an important phase in an engineering project, during which the equipment and materials are specified, the design of the different plant systems is carried out and the necessary information is issued for the construction, assembly and start-up of the facilities.

Álvaro Lorente, Managing Director of Energy at Sener, highlighted: “We are pleased to participate in a project that will allow us to modernise and improve the energy supply in the region, opting for a more efficient technological solution. This project not only represents a significant advance in the generation of renewable energy but also reinforces our commitment to building a sustainable energy model in the long term.”
