Thermal generation continues to play a central role in ensuring baseload energy and reliable district heating. At Sener, we focus on modernizing these assets to align with the global energy transition. By replacing coal plants with hydrogen-ready gas turbine stations, we help reduce emissions while guaranteeing security of supply. Our projects in Germany with EnBW show how thermal generation can evolve into a clean, flexible backbone for Europe’s low-carbon future.
We deliver services that cover the full lifecycle of thermal plants, covering from all stages of engineering design (feasibility studies, conceptual design, FEED and capex estimations, detail engineering and Owner Engineering) to EPC execution, operation, and maintenance.
Our portfolio includes combined cycle gas turbines (CCGT), co-generation plants, and hydrogen-ready retrofits inall ranges of capacities, from aeroderivaties to the newest H-class technologies. These solutions enable clients to reduce CO₂ emissions today and prepare their assets for green hydrogen in the coming decades.
Sener has decades of expertise in complex power infrastructure worldwide. In Germany, we are working with EnBW, General Electric, and Bonatti to replace two coal-fired power plants with 1.4 GW hydrogen-ready CCGT plants at the Heilbronn and Altbach/Deizisau sites. These facilities will initially run on natural gas and will progressively be adapted to burn 100% hydrogen from the 2030s, helping EnBW reach its climate neutrality target by 2035. Beyond design and construction, the contracts also include long-term servicing and maintenance, securing reliable operation for years to come.
Our approach ensures flexibility from day one. By designing CHP (combined heat and power) functionality, plants can deliver both electricity and heat to surrounding communities or industries, increasing overall efficiency and sustainability.
We apply an end-to-end methodology:
Assessment: studying existing coal infrastructure, demand for power and heat, fuel availability, and regulatory requirements.
Design: by optimizing plant design, selecting the most suitable gas turbine technologies, modelling output, providing capex estimations and permitting support to clients, as well as designing for hydrogen readiness.
Execution: delivering EPC contracts, performing the whole detail engineering of the plant with our own internal resources, preparing sites, installing turbines, heat recovery systems, emissions controls and commissioning of the power plant.
Operation: providing O&M services that ensure reliability, monitor efficiency, .
This structured process ensures technical robustness and regulatory compliance while preparing assets for future decarbonisation.
Sener is present globally, with projects ranging from Europe´s biggest regasification terminals to H-class CCGT plants. Our multidisciplinary engineering and EPC delivery ensure that each project meets local demands while aligning with long-term sustainability goals. By replacing coal with flexible gas and hydrogen ready solutions, we demonstrate how thermal generation remains a cornerstone of secure and sustainable power.
At Sener, we modernize thermal generation with flexible solutions that guarantee energy supply and support the transition toward a sustainable energy mix.
