Luxembourg (Brussels Morning Newspaper) – Rolls-Royce Holdings PLC reported that it has signed an agreement with the European Commission to provide two maximum transmission unit (mtu) Series 4000 generator systems as emergency backup power for the facility in Luxembourg.
According to its statement, Rolls-Royce stated that its partner on site Energolux has already installed two gensets of the type 20V4000 DS2750, which have a respective maximum output of 2,640 kilovolt-amperes (kVA) and operate a high-performance diesel generator.
“The two gensets, each with a maximum output of 2,640 kVA, were installed by Rolls-Royce partner Energolux in the new Jean Monnet 2 building complex at the beginning of October as part of the renovation and expansion of the Commission.”
Why is the Jean Monnet 2 project significant for the EU?
The Jean Monnet 2 project will bring together several currently dispersed offices of the European Commission. The designed complex will consist of a welcome pavilion, a tower over 20 floors high, and a lower, flat-roofed building. The facilities provide space for around 3,700 employees and include modern office space, meeting rooms, an auditorium, restaurants, fitness and wellness centres, and logistics areas.
