In 2006 SIMECO started its activity in Power Plants design, getting two engineering contracts from Maire Tecnimont, for a 370 MWe coal fired power station in Chile and for a 17 MWe biomass fired power plant in Italy. Since then SIMECO has further developed its technical skills and know-how on power plant design obtaining long term framework agreements by Enipower – the third largest 3 operator in power generation in Italy – for engineering and supervision services to all company power plants, including photovoltaic activities.
