GE Vernova has announced completion of two high-efficiency upgrades at InterGen ’s 800 MW CCGT Coryton power plant, located 30 miles east of London in the UK. The work included upgrades of the GT26 gas turbines as well as borescope inspections on two generators and steam turbines, valve inspections, and electrical testing of all components.

The upgrades enabled delivery of an increase in capacity of 85 MW to 850 MW. Unit efficiency was improved by 2.46 per cent. The upgrades also extend maintenance intervals. The modernisation project will lead to a reduction of approximately 67 500 tons equivalent of carbon emissions annually.

Joseph Anis, President and CEO of GE Vernova’s Gas Power business in Europe, Middle East, and Africa, said: “This project demonstrates our capability to deliver high-impact, efficient solutions that not only meet but exceed our clients’ expectations. GE Vernova GT26 gas turbines are able to operate on a variety of fuels, including blends of hydrogen and natural gas, to offer InterGen pathways to reduce carbon emissions in the future.”
