Read MoreHide Full Article

General Electric Company’s (GE - Free Report) unit GE Power recently clinched a contract to deliver power generation equipment for the Zainskaya State District Power Plant’s expansionary project in Zainsk, Tatarstan, in Russia.  Financial terms of the deal were kept under wraps.

Inside the Headlines

For the new 858 MW power plant, General Electric will be responsible for providing its state of the art gas turbine 9HA.02 and a STF-D650 steam turbine. Apart from these, the company will deliver H78 and A78 generators as well as RH Heat Recovery Steam Generator.

As noted, the replacement of some existing steam units with the company’s advanced 9HA gas turbine technology will make the power plant’s operations more efficient in the production of reliable energy. In addition, it will help in lowering the consumption of natural gas and emissions, apart from reducing electricity cost. This latest development highlights the strength of General Electric’s long-standing collaboration with Tatenergo to offer advanced gas generation technology.

Separately, General Electric’s Power Conversion business entered into an agreement with Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding. The deal will involve the company to offer an energy management and electric propulsion package for Royal Netherlands Navy’s new combat support ship.
