The contract follows Alstom’s 2007 contract with Al Ghanim to supply Az-zour with five GT13 E2 gas turbines and five TOPAIR generators.
The new steam-tail will add 400MW to the existing 800MW power plant capacity, and Alstom is expected to complete the plant by 2014.
In addition, Alstom has signed an eight-year service agreement that includes the provision of spare parts, reconditioning services and technical field advisory services.
A steam-tail consists of adding steam power generation equipment to an existing gas power plant to increase its efficiency.
