ALSTOM wins contract for a 400MW GT26 combined cycle power plant in Australia

ALSTOM has won a contract by TRUenergy Ltd, subsidiary
of CLP, to supply a turnkey 400MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant
in Australia and a 12-year long-term service agreement for the gas
turbine equipment. The two contracts are worth approximately 250M euros.

ALSTOM
will design, supply, install and commission the entire power plant
consisting of a GT26 gas turbine, a 160MW steam turbine, condenser, heat
recovery steam generator, step-up transformer, plant control systems,
civil works and balance of plant.

The project is located at Lake
Illawara, south of Sydney in New South Wales and is expected to begin
commercial operation in Autumn of 2008.

The award of this project
confirms ALSTOMs leading position as the preferred EPC contractor and
plant integration specialist to the Australian energy market and follows
two similar EPC contracts awarded to ALSTOM in 2005 for the 450MW
Braemar Power Project in Queensland and the 310MW Kwinana Power Project
in Western Australia.

Philippe Joubert, President of ALSTOMs
Power Turbo-Systems/Power Environment Sector, said: Our ability to
provide integrated power plant solutions, coupled with our world-class
GT26 technology and our strong presence in Australia, was instrumental
in our winning this contract.
