The Prospect Power Station & The Generation Department

With an installed capacity of 13.9Mw, an average plant load factor of 75% and fuel efficiency of 17.65Kw, reliability and availability of all generating units have been the main emphasis of the Generation Department over the years.

As is the norm, it is expected that there would be a dramatic increase in load demand due to the influx of returning nationals and tourists to our shores.  It would mean therefore, that the level of service expected to be provided by Nevlec would be at an all-time-high.  Outages would have to be kept minimum and the system readily available to meet any and all possible challenges which we may encounter.

With a vigorous preventative and Planned Maintenance Programme in place, the Maintenance, Operations and Management teams of the Generation Department are determined to maintain and surpass that which is expected of them, particularly in 2007.
