ALSTOM wins €110 million contract to build a
combined-cycle power plant in India

ALSTOM has been awarded an order valued at
around  110 million to build a 228 MW turnkey
combined-cycle power plant for GVK Industries Ltd in India. The
plant will be located near the village of Jegurupadu in the
State of Andra Pradesh in Eastern India. The construction of
the plant commenced in mid-January 2004 and it is scheduled to
enter commercial operation in November 2005.

ALSTOM built the Jegurupadu Phase I combined-cycle power
plant in the middle of the 1990's based on GT8C2 technology
with a total output of 235 MW. This plant was India's first
independent power plant (IPP) to go on-stream.

Jegurupadu power plant sets a reference standard: designed,
executed and operated with total commitment to maximum fuel
efficiency and minimum environmental impact.

 

For the Jegurupadu Phase II, ALSTOM's scope of supply includes
a GT13E2 gas turbine with a heat recovery steam generator,
steam turbine generator, water - steam cycle equipment and
electro-mechanical auxiliaries. In addition, ALSTOM will supply
the civil works, erection, commissioning and testing of the
power plant.

This project will provide much needed support in reinforcing
the power supply in the State of Andhra Pradesh, and will offer
employment opportunities to members of the local
population.
