Alstom Chosen as Partner for Engineering and Procurement for Taishan 1&2, China's First EPR Nuclear Power Plant

LEVALLOIS PERRET, France--(Business Wire)--
Regulatory News:

Alstom (Paris:ALO) has signed a contract worth over 200 million
euros with China Guang Dong Nuclear Power Company (CGNPC) for the
engineering and procurement of the complete turbine island for the
nuclear power plant to be built in Taishan (south-western province of
Guangdong). Taishan will be China's first EPR power plant.

This contract follows the EUR 300 million order (including around
EUR 100 million for Alstom) booked in February 2008 and won in
partnership with the Chinese industrial group and Alstom's
long-standing partner, Dongfang Electric Company. This first order is
for the supply of two 1,750 MW Arabelle turbine-generator packages for
the Taishan nuclear plant.

Alstom is part of a consortium comprising two subsidiaries of
CGNPC: China Nuclear Power Engineering Co., Ltd. (CNPEC), and China
Nuclear Power Design Co., Ltd (CNPDC). On Alstom's side, the project
will be led by Alstom Turbomachines group (TMG) business, including
its local engineering office Alstom Wuhan Engineering and Technology
Co (AWEC). Alstom will supply in-house designed components, as well as
the basic engineering of the complete turbine island and pumping
station, while AWEC will support the on-shore portion of the design
and procurement.

"This is the logical extension of the recognition of Alstom unique
expertise for design and optimisation of the complete turbine island
and of the initial contract in which Alstom was awarded the steam
turbine-generator sets," said Guy Chardon, Senior Vice President,
Alstom Turbomachines group. "Alstom is establishing itself as a key
player in the re-emerging nuclear market throughout the world,
especially in China."

As the world's largest supplier of turbine islands for nuclear
power plants with over 30% of the world's total installed capacity,
Alstom has been a historic partner for China to answer its growing
energy demand. Alstom has also been CGNPC's and Dong Fang's industrial
partner since the construction of Daya Bay, the first large Chinese
nuclear power plant that was built 20 years ago.

*The turbine generator set comprises the steam turbine, generator,
condenser, moisture separator reheaters and auxiliary equipment needed
to convert steam produced at the nuclear reactor into electrical
power.
