Russian-French joint venture Alstom-Atomenergomash (AAEM) has signed an agreement to supply turbine island equipment for units 1 and 2 of the Baltic nuclear power plant in Kaliningrad region, which are to be commissioned in 2016 and 2018 respectively.
The total value of the contract exceeds 35bn rubles (€875m). The scope of supply agreement signed by AAEM includes Alstom steam turbines ARABELLE, generators, condensers, moisture separator reheaters and auxiliary equipment. Despite the fact that this is the joint venture’s first order, the share of equipment to be manufactured in Russia will exceed 50%. In future, this share is expected to reach 70% and more.
The equipment will be manufactured at production sites located in Russia in accordance with previous Russian-French agreements and in line with the ARABELLE turbine production localisation programme in Russia for nuclear power plants with Russian reactor designs locally and abroad. Alstom’s Belfort plant in France will support the production of certain types of equipment included in the contract signed by AAEM.
