Peppers awarded contract for the Ambuklao Modernization Project

The Ambuklao Hydroelectric Plant is the Philippines' first hydroelectric plant. It is located in the mountains of Bokod, Benguet and is about 36 kilometers northeast of Baguio City. The plant was
commissioned by National Power Corporation in 1956 with an installed capacity of 75 MW. In July 1990 a major earthquake centred at the nearby town of Baguio caused landslides to occur in the Ambuklao area. This caused a large amount of silt to flow into the reservoir, which covered the intake tower, leading to shut down of the plant. The plant generation capacity was partially restored in 1995, although the plant was again shut down in 1999 and has been out of operation since. The units will be returned to service between August and November 2010.

Peppers Secures Cable Gland Contract for Worlds Largest Offshore Wind Farm Project

Greater Gabbard will consist of 140 wind turbines each with a capacity of 3.6MW which will give the entire project a maximum capacity of 504MW. The project is going to be located approximately 23 km off shore next to two sand banks known as Inner Gabbard and The Galloper in the North Sea off the Suffolk coast.

The project is expected to be in commercial production in 2011. It will have the capacity to produce enough electricity to power 415,000 homes every year. The company also estimates that the power generated from renewable energy sources will avoid up to 1,000,000 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions each year.
