Wärtsilä Energy has decided to increase its flexibility in close collaboration with its long-term engineering partner Citec. Wärtsilä is transferring certain mechanical & civil project engineering, project quality assurance and module & component change orders and product care activities to Citec as of October 1, 2021.
