ALSTOM wins order for cogeneration plant and boiler
conversion in Germany

ALSTOM has been awarded a contract by N-ERGIE AG,
Nurembergs electrical utility, to supply a cogeneration
power plant to the Sandreuth combined heat and power (CHP)
plant. N-ERGIE AG is investing in total 90 million euros for
this power plant modernisation project, in which ALSTOM is the
principal supplier. 

ALSTOM will provide the Balance of Plant, the Heat Recovery
Steam Generators with supplementary firing behind the gas
turbines, the electrical and control system and civil works.
Furthermore, the scope of supply includes the supply,
installation and commissioning of two natural gas-fired 43 MW
GTX100 gas turbines and the conversion of one existing coal
fired boiler to gas/oil firing.

The increased capacity will enable the Sandreuth CHP plant
to provide the heating needs of 25% of the Nuremberg population
via a 270 kilometre district heating network.

The project will benefit from German government subsidies
that are in place for the modernisation of CHP plants.
Commissioning of the plant is scheduled for spring 2005.
