Alstom lands hydro orders
Adjust font size:

French power and transport equipment maker Alstom said yesterday it has won hydropower orders to supply turbines and generator sets worth 3.8 billion yuan.

 

The hydropower orders in China include: eight 600-MW generators for Jinping's phase II power plant in Sichuan Province; three 650-MW generators for the Nuozhadu power project in Yunnan Province; four 280-MW generators for the Shatuo project in Guizhou; and three 84-MW turbine/generator units for the Longjiang hydropower station in Yunnan.

 

Alstom has also received an order from Vietnam Electricity that includes six 400-MW turbine/generator units for the Son La project in Vietnam.

 

"As one of the top three hydropower suppliers in China, we have been involved in many key Chinese hydropower projects in the past," said Claude Burckbuchler, president of Alstom China. "Our significant hydropower orders in Vietnam indicate that we are implementing a new chapter of our strategy in China. We're not only meeting growing domestic demand, but also expanding our export."

 

Turbines and generators will be manufactured by Tianjin Alstom Hydro Equipment Co Ltd, a joint venture of Alstom in China. Established in 1995, the company specializes in large turbine and generator production with a capacity of up to 900 MW.

 

"Our Tianjin joint venture is positioned as the largest hydropower manufacturing base in Alstom worldwide," said Burckbuchler.

 

Last June Alstom opened Alstom Beizhong Power Co Ltd (ABP), a joint venture with Beijing Heavy Electric Machinery Works. By now the plant has delivered steam turbines to major domestic power companies such as China Guodian Corp and China Power Investment Corp.

 

The company aims to build the ABP plant into one of its most important global manufacturing centers for steam turbine and generator equipment, serving both the Chinese and world markets.

 

"We expect sales in China to reach 1 billion euros in the near future. We see China as our long-term partner with enormous strategic importance," said Burckbuchler.

 

Alstom began supplying China with electric and diesel-electric locomotives in the 1950s. The company set up its first representative office in Beijing in 1979.
