Alstom recieved 80 million contract for Chaglla hydroelectric dam

Alstom has been awarded a contract worth just over 80 million by Odebrecht Perú Ingeniería y Construcción to provide power equipment for the new Chaglla hydroelectric dam in Huánuco, Peru, to be commissioned in 2015. With an output of 450 megawatts (MW), Chaglla will be Perus second largest hydropower plant.

Alstom will supply the complete electromechanical package for the project, which includes a powerhouse with two vertical Francis turbines of 225 MW each, generators and electrical and mechanical auxiliary systems. The scope also includes power transformers and switchyard equipment provided by Alstom Grid, hydromechanical equipment, Digital Control System, telecom and plant protection, as well as a small hydro power plant.

The plants turbines and generators will be manufactured at Alstoms Taubaté factory in Brazil.

After the El Quimbo contract in Colombia awarded to Alstom in 2010, the Chaglla contract demonstrates Alstoms strength in Latin America and its willingness to be present in Perus very promising energy market, said Jérôme Pécresse, Sector President, Alstom Renewable Power and Senior Vice President, Alstom Hydro.

Hydropower accounts for 27% of power production in Peru, which is currently diversifying its power generation mix to include more renewable power.Philippe Kasse, Stéphane Farhi (Alstom Corporate) - Tel +33 1 41 49 29 82 /33 08
