Alstom’s industrial gas turbines business, in Sweden, has been awarded an order valued at approximately EUR 100 million from Latvenergo, the Latvian national electricity company, for a new 140 MW gas turbine combined cycle plant in Riga, to supply both heat and power to the country’s capital. The contract is for the complete construction of the Riga plant, which is a major electric and thermal power supplier for the Latvian capital. Main equipment consists of the KAX100-2, a standard combined cycle power plant package comprising two gas-fired 43 MW GTX100 gas turbines and a single 54 MW steam turbine, including auxiliaries. The equipment will be delivered from the Alstom industrial turbine facility in Finspong, Sweden. Also included in the scope of supply is project execution, Balance of Plant systems, construction, site works and commissioning of the complete plant. The combined cycle plant will replace the existing 50 year-old plant, and raise the standards of the equipment to meet modern EU demands. The turbines will be delivered in the summer of 2004, and the plant is scheduled for completion by late 2005.
