ALSTOM has been awarded a contract worth around 10 million euros for the rewind of four generator stators at the Abu Qir Power Station in Egypt. The order was placed by the West Delta Electricity Production Company, a major Egyptian utility.

These four 150 MW units have been in operation for more than 25 years and their ageing windings have begun to compromise performance. The stators will be completely rewound increasing the reliability and availability of the units.

The Abu Qir Power Station is located east of Alexandria and provides a total of 900 MW to the grid through four 150 MW units and one of 300 MW, all originally supplied by ALSTOM.
