Alstom to supply $93M equipment to Guanyinyan hydroelectric dam

Alstom has won a contract worth approximately US$93 million for the supply of equipment to a new hydroelectric dam in China.

The contract, awarded to Alstom by the Datang Guanyinyan Hydropower Development Co. Ltd, involves the supply of three 600 MW Francis turbine generator units to the new Guanyinyan hydropower station on the Jinsha River in Yunnan province. The first unit is due to enter commercial operation in 2014.

DaTang Guanyinyan Hydropower Development Co. Ltd is a member of the China Datang Corporation, one of China’s top five power generation groups. This is Alstom’s second contract with the company following the PengShui hydropower project in 2004, for which Alstom supplied five 350 MW Francis turbine generator units.

“This contract demonstrates the faith that Chinese customers are placing in our advanced technology,” said Philippe Cochet, Senior Vice President, Alstom Hydro and Wind. “China has enormous potential for the expansion of hydropower and Alstom is glad to be supporting this growth with its clean power solutions.”
