In the dock the theater is Greco-Roman where every year celebrates the festival. Face it places the island of Dumps

The Vale of Energy producer centred dumps

Four power plants, a wind complex and the enlargement of Enagas outlines like one of the principal national centers of energy production

The Vale of Dumps outlines like one of the principal ones electric power sources, not already for the Region, but for everything the country, and it it stems from the next starting of four head offices of energy of this type, in particular those of ‘OGDEN Energy, AES Corporation, Repsol 2 and Iberdrola. If we add her station to this of refined of Repsol, the facilities of Enagás, her terminal of General Electric and the works of enlargement of the dock protected by the Meeting of Works of the Port of Cartagena, it is difficultly to be wrong if we make sure that the area goes I travel of nation turns into one of the principal energy poles of ; not in vain a shallow estimation of the potential that there will be located allows to affirm that of this area the electricity of Spain will go out 10 per cent of from the year 2003.
The general manager of Industry, Horacio Sánchez Navarro, there are drawn the perspectives detaching the potential that there will contribute them four plants of electric power, all of them of combined cycle, that will settle in Dumps; in particular, the company Ogden Energy will install a plant of 400 megawatios; that of AES Corporation will be 1.200 megawatios, the same that that of Repsol 2, while that of Iberdrola 800 will come to megawatios; in whole, production will promote to his 3.600 megawatios.
Likewise, and like result of an agreement between General Electric and Iberdrola, of which 3 signed agreements exist already, will construct himself one Ecogeneración plant.
For his part, the companies Repsol YPF, BP-Amoco and Natural gas want to have built his plant of production of energy electrical for the third trimester of the year 2003; this implies that so much the director of Repsol-YPF, Alberto Toca, as that of BP-Amoco, Pedro García Márquez, they will carry a visit out to the mayoress of Cartagena, Pilar Barreiro, in order to inform about the details of the project of the above mentioned power plant. Alberto Toca indicated in his moment that project of combined cycle that they try to start in Cartagena is very similar to the presented one by the North American company AES, which has hired recently so much the construction as the technology necessary for this initiative with the companies Dredgings and Constructions, S.A., and Mitsubishi. The person in charge of Repsol-YPF indicated that his company has intention of initiating the works in the current year, at the time that he added that at the construction 600 and 900 persons will be employed between.
The plant will be located in a 10 hectares surface, property of Repsol, located in Dumps, between the areas of The Quagmire - where the plant protected by AES will be located Corporation - and the facilities of the proper refinery. The entry in functioning of the above mentioned facilities they will suppose the creation of approximately 60 direct jobs, as well as an investment of 84.000 million pesetas, according to the first estimations shuffled by the company.
According to all the indications, the multinational American AES Corporation will begin throughout this year the works of construction of his plant of generation of electric power, after to have requested at the beginning of 2001 the correspondent licenses to the Town hall of Cartagena. In fact, Gerry Nicholas, person in charge of the complex, has supported meetings with the Science adviser and New Technologies, Patricio Valverde, in order to report to Regional government of the initiative. For his part, the adviser not haggled at the time of offering his support, and the fact is that the quantity of -80.000 millions - this adherence deserves investment.
Nicholas has shown that the definitive project of the plant is already finished, circumstance that will allow to save time in development and shape of the plans of the North American company. In this sense, the Economy department also approved it declaration of AES Corporation as official operator of energy in the national territory.
According to the period that the company handles, the administrative process-íncluída the appearance of the mentioned approval in the Official Bulletin of The State - will have culminated before the summer, being the last step the authorization of the Autonomous region of Murcia to realize spilled of saline water.
Grasp: the same, AES Corporation tries to come to an agreement with GAS Native or another authorized operator of gas so that to have policyholder this way and as soon as possible the essential supply of fuel to the plant.
Nevertheless, the construction of the same ride almost one year of I am late on the initial plans. It is not doubt of that them dimensions of the investment and of the production - we do not forget that 1.200 megawatios of energy per hour are equivalent to the whole production energy that has the Region of Murcia in these moments- they advise to be cautious at the time of giving the necessary steps for to guarantee the finished success of the project. If everything goes in agreement to the forecasts handled by Nicholas, the plant would bring in in functioning in the year 2004.
This energy panorama completes with the projects foreseen in volume to another important energy source; the natural gas., and the fact is that in the middle of the present year it is foreseen that between in functioning a regasification plant that, according to the director of Industry, “será of the most important of Spain ”. While so much, one is proceeding to the enlargement of the facilities that the domestic enterprise Enagas possesses in the Vale, who will suppose one 105.000 cubic meters increase. In particular, after a period of lethargy, the first liquefied gas tank is already working to ceiling; the entry in functioning of one ’ the second tank is foreseen for the current year and - always according to Horacio Sánchez - “se it is studying the possibility of enabling a third tank of some 75.000 cubic meters of liquefied gas; if it was small, there exists perspective of which in the future we have to be provided with two tanks more ”. The enlargement includes also the tanks construction butane tubes.
In another things order, the bet for the Dumps future like important energy pole consolidates, undoubtedly, with starting of another project, this time with a source of energy completely different from the shuffles until now. Us we are recounting to the wind power extracted from a matter it gives priority so to little costly like the wind, and it across the entry in functioning, last November, of a complex of 8 generators of this type of clean energy, according to environmental, situated all of them in the hills tops of Mining saw of the Union, which they have provided to the scenery of the same one of a profile when less unusual, considering the experiences scarcity of this type impelled in our region until now. Each one of the generators reaches a 60 meters height, being provided of helices 50 meters in diameter integrated by three sails of 25 meters each one.
To the pleasing outlined panorama, we have to add the works of enlargement of the dock of Dumps that, protected by Meeting of Works of the Port, there have suffered some debts due to permissions that the European Community has to grant. Nevertheless, presidentedel said organism, Adrián Viudes, appears now more convinced that never of which the said project is going to see made reality, between other motives why, according to him, “es a need urgent for the economic growth of the Region. Let's not forget that companies of the openwork of General Electric have decided to give exit to his products across the harbors of Dumps, the construction of a terminal having been decided railroad with this target. We cannot disappoint them in way any, and especially after the effort inverse that the company American has carried out in the region of Cartagena ”. (text camera of I trade cartagena)
