 Constructed by Alstom, the 815 MW Sembcorp Cogen Power Plant was commissioned in 2001. The Sembcorp Cogen Power Plant was Sembcorps first power plant in Singapore and the first privately developed independent power plant in the country. It was also the first to introduce combined cycle gas turbine technology to Singapore, and remains the countrys largest cogeneration facility. Separately, Alstom is currently constructing an additional 400 MW Combined Cycle Cogeneration Power Plant for Sembcorp at the Banyan district of Jurong Island. Handover of the Banyan facility is scheduled for spring 2014.

Singapore has an installed electricity generation capacity of 11 GW, with demand reaching 6.5 GW during peak periods. The country maintains a reserve capacity to ensure the reliability of its electricity grid. Most of Singapores power producers are adding new capacity after being incentivised to purchase gas from the new liquid natural gas (LNG) terminal coming on-stream in 2013.

This contract is a strong sign of Sembcorps trust and confidence in Alstoms expertise and solutions as a leading manufacturer and service provider of steam turbine and generators and reconfirms our competitiveness in the AsiaPacific region said Wouter Van Wersch, Country President Alstom Singapore.
