Alstom SA To Supply GT13 Gas Turbine For New Power Plant and Increase the Capacity of Existing Plant

Alstom SA announced that it has signed two orders worth approximately EUR 75 million with Metka SA, an international contractor for energy projects to deliver power generation equipment for key projects that Metka is executing for the Samra Electric Power Company in the Kingdom of Jordan. The first contract involves the delivery of a GT13E2 gas turbine and associated spares for the new fast-track simple cycle power plant being constructed in the region of Zarqa in the Kingdom of Jordan. Alstom SA will design, deliver and supervise the installation of one GT13E2 gas turbine, generator and auxiliaries for the new unit. The second contract involves the supply of Alstom SA steam-tail add-on technology to convert the existing 285 Mega Watt (MW) Samra III simple cycle gas-fired plant to a combined cycle plant. The `Add-on` of this technology will increase the power generation capacity of the unit by an additional 143 MW. The project will enter commercial operation in 2015.
