Under the terms of the agreement, Alstom will engineer, deliver and commission new high pressure (HP) and intermediate pressure (IP) steam turbines. The scope also covers the modernisation of the turbine auxiliary systems and the assembly of the steam turbines, generator and exciter systems.
The new turbines will be manufactured in Alstoms facilities and the modernised unit will enter operation in October 2012.
