Located in Hami in China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region, the new power plant is expected to commence operation in 2014.
Alstom will design, manufacture, supply, supervise installation, test and commission the steam turbine generator units.
The Hami power plant will have supercritical steam conditions designed for leading efficiency and lower carbon emissions.
According to Alstom, Xinjiang is considered to be a key region for power supply development under China’s 12th five-year plan.
