2. Source and condition of “pre-owned” plants
Approx. 300 MW lignite fired power plant
available for sale and relocation
Ref.: PS-18.30
2. Source and condition of “pre-owned” plants
• techno-commercial reasons
(e.g., fuel price raised, power price dropped, depreciation,
efficiency,...)
• political reasons
(e.g., subsidies, fuel strategies)
• expiry of power purchase agreement (PPA)
• expiry of fuel supply agreement (FSA)
• insolvency
(during construction or in an early stage of operation)
Typical reasons for power plant shut-downs
• Process industry, utilities, IPPs
• Europe (in particular, West-Europe)
Typical sources of pre-owned power plants available for relocation

2. Source and condition of “pre-owned” plants
Approx. 167 MW
Combined Cycle Power Plant
available for sale and relocation
Ref.: GT-CC-0071
• brand-new, unused (construction not completed, never operated)
or
• very good, “as new” (low operating hrs, long residual life time)
or
• good (e.g., equipment well maintained, modified,
renewed, replaced, rehabilitated, overhauled,
upgraded)
Pre-owned plants form an ideal basis for
fast-track, low-budget energy projects.

Project costs/earnings: “new” versus relocation project
• Immediate availability for relocation
• Considerably lower price
• Earlier earnings (compared with a new plant)
Main advantages of “pre-owned” plants
4. Pre-owned power plants - Summary
• Proven design and performance
• Inborn problems/errors have already been solved
• Availability of plant maintenance/operation records
• Advance due to knowledge/experience of the
“old” operation/maintenance staff
• Involvement of original equipment manufacturers
(OEM) and selected specialised companies
• Selection of an appropriate contract model for
relocation project
Compensation of possible risks
4. Pre-owned power plants - Summary
• Effective solutions to bridge power shortages, black-outs
• Stand-by function for overloaded grids and as emergency
• Short term availability of project related funds
• Short planning and realisation periods
(e.g., for political reasons)
• A power plant with a long design life is not required
(uncertain future)
Typical demand for fast-track projects with “pre-owned” plants
4. Pre-owned power plants - Summary
Although we cannot consider relocation of pre-owned power plants
as an ultimate solution for all power problems,
but:
4. Pre-owned power plants - Summary
Relocation of “Pre-owned” power plants - Conclusion
It can considerably contribute to solving power
problems on short and middle term basis
It’s frequently the only feasible solution

(fast-track and low-budget power project)
It constitutes a lucrative and safe investment
opportunity
