GE has won an order from Damco Energy of Greece to provide power generation equipment for Damco’s 840 MW natural gas-fired power plant to be built in Alexandroupolis, Greece. The power generated by the new plant will support the energy transition in Greece and the development of the Alexandroupolis region.

Public Power Corporation and DEPA will each participate with 51 per cent and 29 per cent respectively in the share capital of Alexandroupolis Electricity Production, the company that will finance, construct, own, and operate the new power plant. Damco is the nominated EPC contractor.

GE will supply a 9HA.02 gas turbine, an STF-D650 steam turbine, a W88 generator, an HRSG, and a Distributed Control System. In addition, GE will provide servicing for the power plant for 14 years. The plant is scheduled to start operation in 2026.

Andreas Diamandopoulos, General Manager of Damco, said: Alexandroupolis power plant is in the crossroads of the natural gas network of the Balkan region. It was crucial for us to select the most advanced technology, such as GE’s 9HA.02 gas turbine, to help secure the lowest cost of conversion from gas to electricity to support the energy transition in Greece.”
