Alstom will design, deliver and supervise the installation of two GT13E2 gas turbines, generators and auxiliaries for the new gas-fired unit, which is located in the region of Al Hashemya and will be operated by Samra Electric Power Generating Company.
Samra III will generate 285MW power and is expected to meet all international environmental standards. It is also expected to have a 9% higher efficiency rate than the other existing simple cycle units. Upon completion of Samra III, the total capacity of the entire power plant will be approximately 900MW.
Philippe Joubert, president of Alstom Power, said: “The contract marks the first ever installation of Alstom’s GT13E2 turbines in the Kingdom of Jordan, chosen for their high power output and efficiency, as well as for Alstom’s capacity for honouring demanding delivery deadlines.”
The latest contract expands Alstom’s fleet of GT13 in the Middle East and Africa to 62.
