Alstom has been selected by Keppel Merlimau Cogen (KMC) Pte Ltd to build and maintain a new 800 MW combined cycle power plant in Singapore, with two GT26 gas turbines.
The order for the first phase of the project, worth about €320 million, includes an EPC contract for a 400 MW gas-fired CCGT as well as an 18-year maintenance contract. The order for the second phase should be booked in 2011. Alstom also built KMC’s existing 500 MW combined cycle power plant, completed in 2007, and for which it has an 18-year O&M contract.
In addition, Alstom is supplying a GT26 based combined cycle plant to another Singapore power company Tuas Power Generation (TPG), which is owned by Huaneng Power International and already operates four CCGT plants plus two oil fired steam units.
The 260 million euro order (Alstom’s first from TPG) includes an EPC contract for a 400 MW gas-fired combined cycle power plant, CCP5, due to be completed in 2014, as well as a six-year maintenance contract.
Meanwhile, Siemens, in consortium with Samsung, has just completed an 800 MW combined cycle cogen plant for yet another Singapore power company, PowerSeraya. The two units of the new plant, which supply power to the grid plus process steam to the neighbouring oil refinery, replace three oil-fired plants on Jurong Island. They employ SGT5-4000F gas turbines.
In 2002 Siemens, again partnered with Samsung, constructed two combined cycle units for PowerSeraya on the same site. These units were converted to cogeneration in the course of the new construction project.
