(ANSA) - BELGRADE, AUGUST 5 - The Gazprom subsidiary Gazprom Energoholding has installed two gas turbines at the Pancevo gas-fired powerplant, in Serbia, local media reported. The turbines were delivered from the Italian port of Genoa to the Romanian harbor of Constanza and then transported on the Danube to Serbia, Gazprom Energoholding has specified. The choice of the gas turbines of Ansaldo was made to their high efficiency and reliability, as well as experience of the company in operating similar turbines in other power plants of the Gazprom group, Gazprom Energoholding noted. A total of 180 million euro will be invested in the construction of the power plant in Pancevo, with the majority of the funding by Gazprom, the specialized portal SeeNews informed.

The project of the power plant in Pancevo "involves construction of a cogeneration power station of combined steam-and-gas cycle with simultaneous production of electrical energy and process steam-type heat energy," reads the website of the Serbian energy giant NIS, of which Gazprom is the majority stakeholder.
