Description of the project and the customer issue

Man is a German company specializing in the engineering and construction of industrial vehicles (trucks and buses), diesel engines and turbomachines. In 2008, EDF PEI entrusted the MAN, CLEMESSY, EIFFAGE consortium with the turnkey delivery of 3 thermal engine power plants with a unit capacity of 220 MW (in Réunion, Martinique and Guadeloupe).
