Alstom signs E270mn maintenance contract for Spanish power plant Alstom has entered into a 270 million 20-year contract with Gas Natural Fenosa for the maintenance and operational support of the Cartagena gas-fired combined cycle power plant in Spain. The Cartagena plant was designed, built and commissioned by Alstom in 2006. It comprises three 400MW combined cycle units, each including a GT26 gas turbine, a heat recovery steam generator, a steam turbine, and a generator supplied by Alstom. Under the terms of the contract, Alstom will provide maintenance and operational support for all core equipment. In July 2010, Alstom signed a similar contract with Gas Natural Fenosa for the combined-cycle units of Sant Adrià de Besòs (Barcelona) and San Roque (Cádiz) in Spain. • Meanwhile Alstom has signed an extension of an operation and maintenance (O&M) contract with independent power producer Ever Power IPP Ltd (EPIC) for the Hai-Fu gas-fired combined cycle power plant in Taoyuan, Taiwan. This 15-year contract extension is worth just under 300 million. The 980 MW Hai-Fu combined cycle power plant, which was built in 1996, was one of the first independent power plants to come into operation in Taiwan. The power plant operates on natural gas and consists of two combined cycle blocks with four Alstom GT24 gas turbines. Alstom has been executing an O&M contract for the Hai-Fu power plant since 2001. Under the terms of this new contract, Alstom will provide the full operation of the power plant and all necessary maintenance services with a permanent site crew.
