Alstom, in consortium with Marubeni Corporation, Japan and Vietnam Machinery Erection Co., has been awarded a turnkey contract to build a 450mw combined-cycle power plant in the existing Phu My power complex located in the Baria Vung-Tau province of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. The contract, worth around EUR 238 million, with an Alstom share of approximately EUR 165 million, was placed by Electricity of Vietnam (EVN), the National Utility. The Phu My 4 combined-cycle plant will be operational by mid-year 2004 and will strongly support the power development programme in the country.
Alstom, as consortium leader, will supply two GT13E2 gas turbines, including generators, the Heat Recovery Steam Generators (HRSGs) and the steam turbine generator. In addition, Alstom will also be responsible for the main mechanical equipment and control system of the power island. This consortium arrangement reflects the strengths of Alstom in co-operating successfully with overseas companies.
