This strengthens the Companys position in Chinas nuclear conventional island market
ALSTOM has won a contract worth more than 80 million with Dongfang Electric Group Corporation (DEC) for its part in the supply of two 1000 MW Arabelle steam turbine and generator packages for phase II of construction at Ling Ao nuclear power station, run by China Guangdong Nuclear Power Corporation (CGNPC), in Shenzhen, China.
This partnership reinforces the leadership position of ALSTOM and its technologies in Chinas nuclear conventional island market. It is the third significant nuclear power contract ALSTOM has won in China in recent years. Previously, the company has recorded two major contracts for the supply of Daya Bay and Ling Ao nuclear power stations.
ALSTOMs Arabelle steam turbine is the only state-of-the-art, proven technology covering 1000 MW to 1800 MW range. Its configuration gives high overall efficiency, extended design lifetime, short overhaul periods, and low maintenance costs. Arabelle can operate with any type of nuclear island configuration.
ALSTOM is the worlds No.1 supplier of nuclear steam turbines and generators. With over 40 years experience and 175 units installed in more than 12 countries, ALSTOM technology is present in over a third of the world's total installed nuclear capacity.
Winning of the Ling Ao Phase II project builds on ALSTOMs successful execution of Ling Ao Phase I project. As the design and supply contractor for the two units of the Phase I project, ALSTOM contributed to the commercial inauguration of Unit 1 and the Unit 2 in 2002, respectively 48 days and 66 days earlier than the dates specified in the contract.
Philippe Joubert, President of ALSTOMs Power Turbo Systems and Power Environment Sectors, said : ALSTOM is very pleased to be chosen by our Chinese partner and customer to serve this key project in Chinas programme of nuclear power generation. It confirms ALSTOMs position as a key worldwide player and technology leader in conventional islands for nuclear power plants and its commitment to participate, alongside Chinese partners, to the ambitious development of power generation in China.
