ALSTOM signs new O&M contracts in Spain

Both plants had initial three-year operation and maintenance
contracts in place, which expired in December 2005. The awarding
of these new contracts demonstrates the confidence that ENDESA
has in the quality and value of ALSTOMs O&M services.
By December 2005, San Roque 2 and Besós 3 had accumulated
more than 24,000 and 22,800 operating hours, respectively and the
average reliability factor of both plants over the last three
years has exceeded 98%.

The new contracts cover operation and maintenance services
over a period of 16 years from December 2005 forward. Services
include operation support and all scheduled and unscheduled
maintenance of the plants power trains, including gas and
steam turbines, generators and control systems.

Hans-Peter Meer, Senior Vice President Power Service, said:
We are proud that ENDESA has again entrusted ALSTOM with
the operation support and maintenance responsibility for their
plants. This success is based on our extensive experience
servicing F-Class GT/CC* power plants, which Endesa perceives as
bringing high value that significantly supports the success of
their business.
