ABB BUILDS MOROCCAN PRIVATE P O W E R PLANT
2Z.
<
ABB, the international electrical engineering company, is to build a private 700 MW coal-fired power plant at Jorf Lasfar, Morocco. The total project investment is approximately US$1 billion. ABB's contract to build the plant is valued at US$620 million. The order was placed by a 50/50 joint venture between ABB and CMS Generation, the independent power production subsidiary of CMS Energy Corporation of Michigan, USA. The new plant will be built adjacent to an existing 660 MW plant, doubling the capacity of this major base-load facility to 1360 MW. Power from the two ~lants will be sold under a 30year agreement to ONE, the Moroccan national power utility. ABB will supply two 350 MW steam turbine-generator sets, two coal-fired boilers, the control system, and the balance of plant equipment. Installation of the first of the new turbines is scheduled to be completed by June 2000.
