WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

This event will allow power plant operators from

across Europe and beyond to share experiences

and benchmark with fellow operators involved in

planning, developing, constructing, and operating

new build projects.

The event will be of interest to organisational

leaders in the following operational departments

and fields:

> Asset development

> New build

> Business development

> Commercial, procurement and contracting

> Project development and management

> Construction, quality and supply chain

> Plant management

> Operations implementation

> Engineering

> O&M

Additionally, we expect the event to be of interest to

providers of turnkey and packaged based solutions –

whether they be owner‘s engineers, OEMs or specialist

service providers – in the fields of:

> Power plant design, technology and

> upgrade/retrofit

> Front end engineering and design and

> pre-project planning

> Owner‘s engineer construction and

> project management

> Planning, engineering design and project

> delivery consultancy

> Business development, sales and marketing

> Research and development

With stringent emissions targets, ageing fleets,

and political, economic and financial barriers

facing the mass deployment of new nuclear and

renewable assets, the European energy sector

currently faces major capacity challenges. To

achieve the EU’s goals of reducing C02 emissions,

half of Europe’s fossil fuel power stations alone

must be replaced, and with nations otherwise

facing a black hole in generation capacity, a

new generation of modern and environmentally

efficient fossil fuelled power plants is needed to

provide flexible generation capacity.

We are delighted to invite you to European New

Build 2011, which will offer you an operationally

focussed insight into the planning, construction,

mobilisation, commissioning and successful

operation of new build CCGT and coal-fired

power plants.

Bringing together a diverse range of speakers with

experience in new build project management,

O&M implementation, plant management, CCS

demonstration, and environmental regulation,

the event is your opportunity to ensure that you

incorporate all of the appropriate lessons learned

and advice from the experts into your new asset

development strategy. Eleven operator led case

studies will give you practical insights into:

» Planning and ensuring consent for new

asset development – site selection, public

engagement and environmental compliance

at London Gateway Logistics Park, Coryton

» Overcoming site selection challenges and

building a carbon capture ready CCGT at

Cockenzie

» Contracting and construction of large CCGT

projects in Europe – Vattenfall’s perspective

» Operational implementation and mobilising

an asset management strategy at West Burton

CCGT

» Effective O&M implementation at Akenerji’s

new build projects and the impact of plant

flexibility on the new build market

» Current project status of the Moorburg and

Boxberg coal-fired power plants and the role

of coal-fired power generation in a carbon

constrained future.

» The challenges for building, retrofitting and

demonstrating Carbon Capture and Storage

at new build and existing sites

» Scrutinising the risk management processes

of your project

» Seamless transition from construction

to commissioning and into commercial

operations at Maastroom Power Plant

» Developing and financing projects at a global

level – the perspective of an IPP

European utilities are now investing billions

of Euros in efficient coal and gas-fired power

stations that will continue to form the backbone

of secure and flexible energy supplies. Don’t miss

this opportunity to share your experiences with

leading European operators, discover investment

opportunities and assess the future direction of

new fossil fuelled projects in a carbon constrained

future.

We look forward to welcoming you to London.

Yours sincerely,

Thomas Cook
