A contract worth 250 million - Alstom to build a new
GT13-based power plant in Australia

Under the contract, Alstom is responsible for the design,
supply, installation and commissioning of the entire power
plant, including 4 x GT13E2 gas turbines, step-up transformers,
plant control systems and balance of plant. The power plant
will provide power during peak demand periods and will benefit
from the high flexibility of  the GT13 engine.



This contract is Alstoms fifth in Australia since 2005
for the supply of turnkey gas turbine plants, providing a total
of 11 turbines to the country for either peaking, cogeneration
or combined cycle applications.



The Colongra power plant will be built next to Delta
Electricitys existing coal-fired plant, at Munmorah, on
the New South Wales central coast. Alstom supplied the original
4 x 350 MW steam turbine generators units to Munmorah in the
mid-1960s and will now supply state-of-the-art
technology that will generate enough electricity to supply
600,000 homes at peak times.



Philippe Joubert, Executive Vice-President and President, Power
Systems Sector, said: This contract confirms
Alstoms strong presence in Australias growing
power market. Our industry-leading technology and capacity to
integrate power plant components allows Alstom to offer Delta
Electricity the most innovative and efficient solution to meet
its growing power needs. Alstom provides the most efficient and
cleanest integrated power solutions for its
customers.
