New contract consolidates Alstom's position as leading supplier to China's nuclear programme.

The order comes after Chinese energy utilities
China Guangdong Nuclear Power Co (CGNPC) and China National
Nuclear Corporation (CNNC) signed an agreement with DECL for the
design, manufacture and supply of the steam turbine-generator
packages. The Alstom model selected for the three projects is
based on the first unit of Ling Ao Phase II (Ling Ao 3), which
was delivered by Alstom and went into commercial production on
September 20, 2010, after a remarkably short commissioning and
start-up time.

The turbine-generator package includes the
GIGATOP 4 pole turbogenerator, moisture separator reheater (MSR),
the condenser, the low pressure heater and ARABELLE
half-speed steam turbine, all designed by using Alstom's
turbine-generator technologies. Alstoms ARABELLE
turbine is suitable for all reactor types and is globally
renowned for providing higher efficiency and reduced installation
and maintenance costs.

Alstom has already provided its
turbine-generator packages to the Chinese power plants Ling Ao
Phase II, HongYanHe Phase I and II, Ningde Phase I, FuQing Phase
I and Fangjiashan Phase I as well as Taishan, Chinas first
nuclear power plant to use the EPR (Evolutionary Power
Reactor).

With nuclear energy experiencing an
invigorating resurgence in both developed and emerging markets,
our extensive experience and strong marketplace position put us
at the forefront of this exciting trend. Our manufacturing and
engineering sites in Beijing and Wuhan, coupled with our
cooperation with local business partners in China, allow us to
play an active role in shaping how China masters its growing
energy needs, said Guy Chardon, Senior Vice President,
Alstom Power Thermal Products.

Alstom is the worlds leading supplier
of conventional islands for nuclear power plants, and has fitted
more than 180 units around the globe. More than 30% of the
worlds nuclear power stations operating today use
Alstom-made equipment. In China, Alstom has been Dong
Fangs industrial partner, since the construction of Daya
Bay, the first large Chinese nuclear power plant, 20 years
ago.
