The 10-year major maintenance of ENGIE’s Combigolfe combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) plant, located in the industrial hub of Fos-sur-Mer (not far from Marseille, France), provided an opportunity to upgrade the facility to meet the evolving demands of the power grid: increased flexibility due to renewable energy integration and reduced CO₂ emissions. 

 

At the forefront of technology, the plant now boasts one of the highest efficiency rates worldwide, helping to lower its carbon footprint. It also offers an exceptionally fast response time to the grid operator during peak demand periods. 

Take a look inside the plant with its Director, Pascal Anfossi, and learn how ENGIE is supporting the energy transition across local communities.
