Mining group NG-Energo has
announced it has won the bidding
to build a turnkey 24 MW power
plant featuring MAN Diesel & Turbo
generators for the ore and diamond
mining company JSC Severalmaz in
northern Russia.
MAN Diesel & Turbo will provide the
plant’s six MAN 18V28/32S Holebydesigned
four-stroke gen-sets powered by
diesel oil.
NG-Energo’s turnkey contract with JSC
Severalmaz covers construction, purchase
and installation as well as logistics. The
project will be executed within the course
of a single year by NG-Energo and Order
Project Management at MAN Diesel &
Turbo in Holeby, Denmark.
The project will be carried out in two
phases, the first of which is planned to
commence in May 2012. MAN Diesel &
Turbo is contracted to deliver the gensets
in two batches of three engines with the
first scheduled for December 2011 and
the second for October 2012.
Three years ago MAN Diesel signed a
similar contract with Empower Ltd. for
the supply of 15 × 18V28/32S MAN Diesel
four-stroke gen-sets.
Empower was established to develop a

NG-Energo chooses 24MW
powerplant for Russian mine
MAN Diesel & Turbo generators have been bought by the mining group NG-Energo for a
mine in northern Russian. By May 2012 six MAN 18V28/32S Holeby-designed four-stroke
gen-sets powered by diesel oil will form the heart of the site’s power-generating capacity.

fleet of generating equipment for leasing
to utility and industrial customers in
emerging markets (initially Africa) on a
short-term, flexible basis.
Empower currently operates the units on
behalf of its customers, who purchase
power under a standardised PPA (Power
Purchase Agreement).
The company is wholly owned by Actis
Infrastructure 2 LP, a fund established and
managed by Actis, a leading privateequity
investor in emerging markets.
The 18V28/32S engine is a turbocharged,
single-acting, four-stroke diesel engine of
the trunk-piston type with a cylinder bore
of 280 mm, a stroke of 320 mm, and a
crankshaft speed of 720/750 rpm. Each
gen-set has an output of 4,230 kW.
The 15 gen-sets have been deployed at
one or more locations in sub-Saharan
Africa, most likely in batches of three.
The gen-sets were packaged for Empower
Ltd. by East African Industrial
Development Ltd. (EAID), the MAN Diesel
representative for East Africa. EAID was
closely involved in the original design of
the generation concept.
V28/32S engines are well-known for
their ability to run on HFO, their high
reliability, the long time between over-

such engines are currently in service.
MAN Diesel & Turbo’s activities in the
power generation and cogeneration
sectors are based on a well established
range of diesel engines and a rapidly
growing gas engine offering.
On the liquid fuel side, two- and fourstroke
engines in a power range from 450
kW to 80 MW. can utilise heavy and
distillate fossil fuels as well as an
increasing range of renewable liquid
bio-fuels.
Currently CO2 –neutral bio-fuel engines
from MAN Diesel & Turbo are in daily
operation on plant oils including palm and
jatropha oils, used cooking oils and
rendered animal fats. On the gaseous fuel
side, single and dual-fuel gas engines from
MAN Diesel & Turbo covering a power
bracket of 2,3 to 17,55 MW are gaining an
increasing share of the global market for
power generation and cogeneration using
both natural and non-natural gases.
