Alstom extends O&M contract for Thai gas-fired plant

Alstom will service a 350MW power plant in Thailand for another 10 years.

The French group has signed a €90 million operations and maintenance contract signed with Eastern Power and Electric as an extension of an existing contract.

Under the agreement, Alstom's permanent employees will operate the plant and carry out all planned and unplanned maintenance works at the the gas-fired generating station located at Khlong Daan in the Bang Bo Samut Prakan province.

The Bang Bo combined cycle power plant, owned by EPEC, was built by Alstom in 2000 and features GT26 gas turbine.

As part of the service contract, Alstom will also upgrade the existing GT26 gas turbine with MXL2 turbine blade and components, which are due to be installed in 2014.

"This upgrade will not only increase the capacity, efficiency and operational flexibility of the power plant but will also extend intervals between major inspections," said Alstom Thermal Services senior vice president Hans-Peter Meer.

Alstom has supplied over 7,000MW in Thailand through its technology, and constructed the 730MW Bo Win and the 1600MW Kaeng Khoi 2 gas-fired power plants.
