Kapellmann successfully supports Italian plant manufacturer CEFLA in its entry into the German market
02. May 2019
On 30 April 2019, Stadtwerke Cottbus signed a general contractor agreement for the modernisation and partial reconstruction of the Cottbus combined heat and power plant in the presence of Lord Mayor Holger Kelch. Stadtwerke Cottbus has commissioned the Italian plant manufacturer CEFLA s.c., in a joint venture with the South Tyrolean plant engineering firm Atzwanger AG, to build a gas-fired combined heat and power plant. The project forms part of the modernisation of Cottbus’s energy supply, in which a total of 75 million euros is to be invested. Specifically, five new 10 MW gas engines will be supplied by INNIO Jenbacher GmbH from Tyrol; together with the new pressurised thermal storage system, they will form the technical heart of the new power station.
CEFLA is based in Imola, Italy, and this contract from Cottbus marks its first foray into the German market. It employs over 2,000 people worldwide and has subsidiaries and production facilities in Europe, the USA, the Middle East, India and China.
Kapellmann lawyers Dr Michael Wolters (Berlin) and Dr Nikolas Brunstamp (Hamburg) provided legal advice to CEFLA, in particular during the negotiation of the plant construction contract. CEFLA and Atzwanger AG were awarded the contract following a structured selection process conducted by Stadtwerke Cottbus. Kapellmann brings together firm-wide expertise within its Plant Engineering practice group and its specialised Power Station Construction team. This enables clients to benefit from the experience gained in advising on a wide range of power station projects, for example for the municipal utilities of Düsseldorf, Duisburg, Wuppertal and Kiel.
