Alstom has been selected by Keppel Merlimau Cogen Pte Ltd (KMC) to build and maintain a new 800 MW power plant in Singapore.

The order for the first phase of the project, worth approximately €320 million, includes an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the construction of a 400 MW gas-fired combined cycle unit as well as an 18-year maintenance contract. The second phase, which would also include a 400 MW combined cycle unit should be confirmed in 2011.

Once completed, the two power units will increase the company's production capacity to 1300 MW and will add around 10 per cent to Singapore’s generating capacity.

Under the terms and conditions of the EPC contract, Alstom will provide the entire power plant and all associated equipment, including one GT26 gas turbine, one steam turbine and one heat recovery steam generator for each unit.

Philippe Joubert, president of Alstom Power, said: "This contract underlines Alstom's competitiveness in Asia for combined cycle power plants. We have every intention of building on this success and continue implementing our growth strategy in Asia."
