The company will be responsible for the supply of spare parts, major overhaul of each of the plant’s four Alstom GT13E2 gas turbines and a partial MXL upgrade of the gas turbines.
According to Alstom, the MXL upgrade technology offers the operational flexibility of M mode for increased power and efficiency, or XL mode for increased lifetime and extended inspection intervals.
The overhaul work is scheduled for completion by the end of 2013, the company said.
The Ruwais power and desalination plant in Abu Dhabi was commissioned by Alstom in 1999.
