Alstom has signed two orders worth approximately US$95m with Metka S.A. to deliver power generation equipment to two projects that Metka is executing for the Samra Electric Power Company in Jordan.
The first contract involves the delivery of a GT13E2 gas turbine for a new fast-track simple cycle power plant, being constructed in the region of Zarqa. The supply and installation of the turbine will take place in a ‘fast-track’ mode with commercial operation scheduled for June 2013. The power plant will add 146 MW to the Jordanian grid, bringing much needed generation capacity ahead of the peak summer months.
The second contract involves the supply of Alstom steam-tail add-on technology to convert the existing 285 MW Samra III simple cycle gas-fired plant to a combined cycle plant. The ‘Add-on’ of this technology will increase the power generation capacity of the unit by an additional 143 MW. The project will enter commercial operation in 2015.
