Toshiba has been selected to supply thermal power generation equipment for the retrofit and modernization of the Altamira thermal power plant in Tamaulipas State, in the north-east of Mexico. Under the terms of the contract, Toshiba will supply Isolux Corsán with two high-efficiency 165 MW steam turbines and related equipment.
Earlier in April 2014, CFE, the owner of Altamira, awarded an Isolux Corsán -led consortium, an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the retrofit and upgrade of the plant, including fuel conversion from oil to petroleum coke at two 158 MW units. Isolux awarded the steam turbine contract to Toshiba on the strength of the company's comprehensive technological and supply capabilities and its extensive experience in Mexico. Toshiba will deliver the equipment in 2016, and the upgraded power plant is scheduled to start commercial operation in 2017.
